   Im after some steal wheels for track days what are the best size and what car would they be off? I will also be fitting some gti-6 brakes soon so the minium size will be 15 inch I was just wondering what car the stealys would come off.
   
   Cheers in advance.

   yes they are. did have a part number saved on here somewhere but its gone
   
   only downside to these wheels are that they are not the strongest and if you hit a pothole hard or have an "erratic" driving style then it can damage them...

   Cheers would just be for track use so there would be some eratic driving but there shouldn't be any pot holes. ill get myself down the scrapys and try and source some

   I got 4x 406 steelies (15") off ebay for £10! Heavy though like, but no heavier than VTS wheels.
