    Heya, i know a guy who got a new set about 18 mths ago..they were bout 1,800 ... i scored mine off a mate for 550 with tyres. front ones were new, and rears were subjected to some abrasion. lol....
    for the life of me i cant remember who makes them...they are a RAYS engineering VOLK replica tho.

    The GTi-R looks awesome. The rear taillights are actually very reminiscent of those on the Mk2, and I kinda thought that was your Mk2 until I noticed that wing and badging (of course)!

    Wheels definitely look sweet on the Mk2 - post some side shots for us!

    cheers.
    ive been a bit slack with the Mk2 lately. especialy with taking pics.
    its coooooold down here and there is so much road work on the way to work that the car hasn't had a good clean for the last 2 months or so.
    im tossing around the idea of a 16v for it at the moment runing on K-jet.
    but really havn't come to a conclusion. Im a bit scared to go from a 2.0 to a 1.8....so maybe a 2.0 16v.....or my 2.0 block with a 16v head and some EFI and turbo action. Its such a brain strain.
    but the Mk1 is for sale so I can get my GTiR upto daily driver specs and take the mk2 off the road for some TLC.

    Few things are certain...and that is some coil overs, a Bonrath grille (de badged 2x lights) and some paint....
    after that is done then ill move to interior...
    If its a nice day on saturday I may give her a bath and take some pics

    only pics i have with new rims are theese
