for flushed look you need 8,5 off -21 or something

the mk1 arches extend the normal fenders by 2,5 cm

btw. i can get you Work Equip 01 and 03 new if you like.

thx DJexor for the offer but i'll not buy them this year, 'cause my car won't be ready until april Wink

i'm just searching for alternatives

@tsanakas
i will make my own spacers for now
but i thougt that rims which fill the whole wheel arch may look better

Any pictures of the car with the Golf arches?

Possibly the cheapest route is to get a set of steel wheels banded? Can get them done for about £150 in the UK - if you dont pay the stupid drift tax / wide wheels prices.

Personally I think banded steels look awesome!

I suggest you research into getting SSR wheels or Work Meister 15 inch wheels. Those should be easier to get.
