   About 8kg bare so 14-17 depending on tyre obviously the top weight is with suitable tyre to be on the gti-6 in the 1st place

   Yeah seems all the standard alloys of the same size are pretty much the same weight, so about 8-10kg

   Yes and no.
   
   Wheels are a direct fit, but 306's run a much larger tyre (195 55 15), so you might need to fit different ones (195 45 15)

    Why have you got spacers on the front?
    Cosmetic?

    Worth every penny. Some people on here are after silly money for them, though.

    yeah they look awesome..i know what you mean about the price of them too, i been looking on the bay and there are only a few sets and they need major refurbing. my mate's mum has a GTI6, might ask if she wants to swap wheels lol

    The ones on my pic were fitted the day I got them. Needed doing properly, but were £150 with nearly new yoko s-drives where most people on here sem to want £300! Then wonder why they don't sell or get bumped everyday for months
