   Found a place on ebay quite local to where im working with peugeot and citroen alloys for sale that have just been refurbed all the vts ones have gone but quite like the 205 1.9 gti in anthracite or white. Would they look any good and would they bolt straight on?

   I have a set for sale that need refurbing, think you need flat seat bolts to fit. UNsure about the spacers.
   
   They do look good when fitted to the right car.

   I would say you need a small spacer depending on what tyre is on it, My 205 wheels have a large profile of tyre and I don't get alot of lock without spacers
