    I had a set of those on my mk1 and they do look good. But mine were the original silver. I'm not a fan of black steel wheels.

    They are 14x6 ET45

    Like evorobin said. You'll need at least 5mm spacers.

    I've had several set's with 185/60R 14 & always had to put a 5mm spacer on the rear only to clear the coil spring. Fronts are fine.
