15"x7j 4x100 don't know the offset. came off a J import mx5 so will require spigot rings to fit vw. I would imagine that being J import that the wheels are ssr watanabes, but I cant find any markings on them and they look slightly different to my other set. they are very light magnesium alloy one wheel has a big dent in the outer lip. the wheel still holds air. should be easilly repairable. one has a small amount of curb rash and the other 2 are ok. they all could use a fresh coat of paint too. fitted with 195/50 falken tyres with 3 to 4 mm of tread left. although the tyre fitted to the dented wheel has sidewall damage, so would be reluctant to use it myself. collection only from chipping norton oxfordshire

they are 2 piece splits and the dented wheel is no longer dented. 3 of the tyres are good and all decent makes (they retail at £45 a piece). if you knew anything about the wheels you would know they are a reasonable price for what they are. google watanabe rs-8s for an idea on what mint sets sell for before you go banding scene tax about. btw they are no longer for sale, as i think i might aswell keep them for a rainy day

Watanabes aren't cheap wheels, they are much sought after J split (yes, split rim) wheels that look excellent on an MX5. If the fourth weren't dented I'd make an offer. Good luck with the sale and keep your remarks to yourself please paulz

gutted I didnt win these on ebay last week for peanuts ;( they might have been cheapish, but then if i hadnt of been able to remove the dent, they would have been a rather large waste of money to me as the tyres arent suitable for my car.
