I don't completely understand the look either... maybe they are back up or "beater" wheels to have on the car while the $$$ BBS three-piece jewellery hides under the bed.

Fitted vented wheel arch liner. Really happy with it. (Thanks to Grant for organising this and to Marshall for shipping) Thoroughly cleaned wheel arches. Also put back VW rear badge on. Then washed car.
Up on hoist...wheels of cleaned all the underbody,inside wheels,sprayed a clear coat over calipers,polished up spacers....:banana:The Grand Daddy .:R deserves it:P
