They are kerscher kalypso's 8x14 front 9x14 rear. I know because it was my car. And yeah it is vinyl, I thought I would bring A little retro style to it, like the mk1 golfs had. :)

I did look to your thread first but nothing was on there, so i thought it was the owner that has it now that made it look like that

the turbos started off like this

IMG_0976.jpg

in aunit down south just north of london. brought off a guy off here he said he would paint black with silver flakes for £480 which wasnt to bad

i payed deposite of £120 and went to pick them up after 6 months as i wasnt down that was and wasnt in any rush.

got to the guys unit and he had only just put laquer on them 15min before i got there.

not wanting too damage them i put some cardboard down and towels on top and placed two on back seat put towel over top and placed the other two on top.

jumper on the motorway to come home and decided to pull over and let the misses have look and what u no there were imprints of towel on wheels, laquer everywere and and pain going pitted.
