    yeh they will fit up ok, someone on here has those wheels on a mk1 ive seen em before. they are a bit harder to find but still fairly common and do pop up on ebay as well. an alternative are mk3 steel wheels which look good

    I believe Pete Jones has a set on his race mk 1. With wideish race rubber.

    Fitment should be fine.

    I have 4 on my Mk3 Classic.... They're a bit boring in comparison to the GTI's lol.

    They're a generic Australian dealer fitted wheel. Not OEM VW wheels.

    Auscar or something locally made there's a couple of variants depending on what the dealers were buying at the time.

    Make sure you use hub cenntric spacers, these wheels should have them but they've often been lost.

    A lot of MK3s were fitted with these, they work fine on a MK1 so long as you get the (tapered) wheel bolts to go with them.
