Rich, that's the main reason i have gone for them. Same reason i went for the 993 targa wheels on my bug - rather unsual on VWs! I am sick to the back teeth of seeing the same old wheels on VWs....walk round Volksworld this year and see how many sets of Fuch wheels you see!
The rears are going to be 17x9 et55. Fronts are still being decided as my intial request is not an option (17x6 et52)
