      Jace - whoever told u to be yourself, couldn't possibly have given you worse advise. I stopped listening to your opinion months ago.

                Getting there,

                I say keep the rims you got.. i like em , If you decide to sell lemme know, could be keen.

                  There are a few sets of pepper pots floating around. They were oem fitment for something. (might have been american though)

                  I don't think too much of those work replicas, seen em on a few mk 1's, and they never really seem to be spot on.

                  those performance alloys ones could be alright, few set of them floating around too, they really similar to globes, of which are also a few sets floating around (I've got some 13" ones) many are gemini fitments, so not really ideal for a mk 1.
                  If you had the cash, a set of them in proper mk 1 fitment would be grouse. 15x7 and 15x8 et 25, that could look pretty good!

                  oh, and don't get wire wheels. you drive a mk 1 golf, not a mk 1 jag!

                    never seen a set of ATS pepperpots in aus before.
                    Seen a few that where on early sigma's.

                    Gemini Fitment is not TOO bad on a Mk1 , Im running +16 on front, and 0 on rear. looks nice as .

                    The pepperpots i got are Genuine ATS pepperpots in 4x100 13x6 +13 offset. With original center caps too!!

                      Hahaha fair call. I just love that pumpkin orange shaved mk1 with multi spokes and timber racks!! Challenger copies would be ideal, and I reckon i'd go a 13 x 7.5 front and 13 x 8 rear with +25 maybe? Only thing that would be an issue is scrubbing on coilovers / Helpers.. But stretched rubber should assist in that area. I'm getting new rubber on te current wheels, and then will be looking to sell.

                          I like both of those. Wouldn't go mk2's though... As I know a twat that runs them, and the less I have in common with him, the better!
