    15 inch alloys wheels with good tyres

    15 X 7 alloys with 6mm to 5mm Toyo proxes t1r (195/50/15)

    No curb marks or chips - the only problem is the chrome bubbling in places (the chrome is fine on the spokes)

    Look similar to the mk3 alloys. Good for winter use as they are.

    £110 collected from Manchester or Barnsley. Can post if required - should be about £40

    Couple of quick questions:
    Can they be fitted using standard pepperpot wheel nuts?
    Where is the chrome bubbling(pictures?)

    Can be used with standard pepperpot wheel nuts but they will stick out. I have used the mk1a type ones which are shorter.

    Car is at a garage getting the engine rebuilt which is about 40 miles away. So I have no pictures at the moment. Can pop down and take some. May be next weekend if that's okay.

    Ok thanks no rush on my side, my mk1 does not have mot at the moment, so sorting that is my priority.

    Finally able to put some photos of the wheels up. Collected to day from SBITS.

    As you can see there is no curb marks, but in some places the chrome is lifting. I gave the wheel a quick wash and it kept raining today so could not dry them out for better quality pictures. You will notice some small dots on the wheels, these are either water or marks which will polish out.

    Do these bolt straight on or do they need spacing?

    No spacers needed, also you can use your original tear drops nuts.will see if I can find a picture with the wheels on the car for you.

    Just realised the only pictures I have are the ones at the top of the page. So just to confirm these alloys will not need spacers, also the bore size is correct so no need to buy any spigot rings, also original nuts will work but short ones look way better.
