I no most of you on here will not like but the style but im happy with it Smile

Went and picked up a set of Borbets from Ksung17. After about 2 weeks of removing laquer rubbing down roughing up and polishing they were finally done! Went and bought some flat caps for them to. I spent yesterday putting them on. Overall really happy with them, managed to remove 99.9% of corosion and only the kerbing and a proper polish need attention now. Anyway here are some pictures of the before and after and on the 6. Hope you like, Tom Smile

BEFORE

AFTER

Got a smoothed bonnet and 40mm springs that are going up for sale to soon.

Definite golf wheels! The euro look just isn't for a gti6... Many have tried and failed! Any way its your car, I'd say go down and out with them alloys.... Afraid it's just not my cup of tea pal

i like the fact they are deep dish.

but they just dont look right on the pug without more spokes.

as eddygti6 says, i would get the inside of them painted, graphite or something and they would look better.

but if your happy then thats all that matter.

i cant really talk, i drive a blaze ffs..... :/

Your 306 has its own character with those alloys, i like the deep pan look with the side pictures, not bad at all.

Yea i had some 15" ones that i now found out they were replicas and didnt fit. These ones are genuine 16" and just fit on the front with a little bit of work. Very very tight tho!
