love them wheels, the cars stance is perfect too!

[Rsjvr6 1]

Are they the wheels from the early MK3 GTI 8V?

i have been informed by another member that they are infact early gti wheels for standard VW alloys i think they realy suit it, altho i was considering spraying them, im open to sugestions tho lol, thanks for the comments, this is exactly how i have bought it and havnt made it my own yet, i dont think i will be adjusting the coil overs tho, it rides perfect IMO, realy firm in the corners and not overly bumpy too

I'd just clean and polish them mate, not many of these wheels about especially on a VR.

thanks, my plans are to get sum cams for it, bigger fuel regulator, and a remap or chip,

tidy up the body work with sum dark side repeaters, brighter fogs lol, and im not sure what to do about the alloys, i like them but few people have said they look like steelies with wheel trims on :-( i like them tho, they have deff grown on me, and there in good nick, the chap who had it b4 me had them refurb'd.

Le Mans is just the name of the town the well known race takes place, it has no significant meaning in french, like altrincham has no significant meaning in english

done a google search for "vw le mans alloys" and nothing at all any1 else want to have a guess? lol spoze the name aint realy that important, i think they will have a good contrast against the burgundy??
