    Which one do you mean mate? If you read the post (;) ), the top one has Schmidt Modern and the bottom one has Borbet B`s (which I thought were rare, but apparently not!). Not sure on the size, but they are sweet. Best checking out E-bay for a set. The Schmidt`s are 8x15" ET 20 with 195/45 tyres.

    BTW, the cars are British, they just have German style plates! :lol:

    Old skool cool & rare TSW Omegas [8D]
    Possibly one of the only decent wheels TSW ever made :lol: Problem is though, they only just fit over my 256 brakes, 280s might be a bit much without spacers, and at ET28 you'll need archwork to push em out further really!

    I like those Borbet B's as well, but 9x16 is a tad big! Think some arch mods might be needed with ultra low profiles!

    Another vote for Borbet A's or B's - I personally like the look of 16x9 - but it does lead to other problems (clearance etc..).

    I personally run 17" wheels, so I must be seriously "uncool" ;)

    Bet it looked awesome, always had a thing for the real early GTIs. If I stack my MK2 thats what I'll be after! Though I'll CE2 it and drop in the ABF on k-jet from the GTI [8D]
