Hi all
I am wondering if anyone knows what these original Mk 1 wheels weigh.
Are these alloy or light steel?
Mine either need a refurb or replacing. I definately dont want to replace them with anything heavier; if anything lighter.
I definately want to stick to 185/60 R14 on them.
Help please
Thanks
Andy
