Here's one-even with stupid skinny tyres fitted they don't work-needs narrow axle on the rear and substantial geometry changes on the front to work in my opinion.

they look like 7.5" and ive got to be honest. they look swank on an unarched car, i'd rather have my 5.5" steelies.

They look even worse on an unarched mk1 and need significant work to get them looking right.

Here's a very old pic of a set I test fitted to my mk1 years ago. The results looked just as laughable on the rear.

ive only seen them look ok on a mk2 with x pack fitted, but personally i think they should be on x pack capris. look mint on them.

Would have looked better with the ride height lowered.

Probably be ok on a mk1 with bubble arches 

I’m not planning on putting these on either of my cars, get them refurbished and put them on display lol

Yes they look fine on xpacked/bubbled cars but not standard.

Those tyres look too skinny as well, need decent rubber on 13's, well I think anyway.

With the right tyres and on the right arched car, I think they can look at home, but each to their own I suppose, if you like the skinny tyre look. I know you not actually putting them on anything right now, but here's a pic just because I like how they look on my car.....
