I like the Tooras. But they may just be a tad over size. Otherwise my money is on the Generics but I fear they will fail the IVA without the centers.

Im planning on painting these black and using them

Look like 91 speck Ghia alloys, commonly known as "the late style polished ones that the laquer fails on and goes flakey"

yes they did look rather disgusting when i got them but hopefully a bit of teatment with the d/a and a slash of paint will have them looking respectable
not to everyones taste maybe but kinda cheap and they fit

Just be careful with your speedo though TT, you need to make sure that it will still read correctly with the wheels and tyres. You're allowed 10% over but nothing under. With larger wheels on, 17" you will certainly be under reading. 15" x 55 tyres seem to match the car really well and suit the speedo.

Happy Hunting....AndyH
