The chap wants £620 for them, apparently good condition with almost new tyres. I want them for the Gsi ive just bought as these are the facelift Gsi alloys, But for that price could nearly get a brand new 17`s package with new tyres. Although these wheels are rare and suit the GSi really well. What do guys think?

very nice, but £620 is a bit pricey i think. look for a set that look the same and then get em in a bigger size

Can't get bigger gsi rims 
I'd go for them, but as said try and get them cheaper somewhere else, u don't need them straight away do you, could look around for a couple of months

thats expensive, you can probably pick up the rims new from vaux for 100 quid each, maybe less and then tyres on top. i paid 66 quid a rim for my 16" vaux ones from the local dealer.

yeah i thought they were too pricey as well, but people who sell them seem to make out that they are rare, i wonder if i could get a price from vaux to make a comparison? Anyone seen any aftermarket rims that are similar to this?

Don't try and get 'similar rims' it'll look like a fake gsi then  if you don't get real ones get totally different aftermarket ones imo....
But why not hold out for a bit?

Probably wont pick it up till next week now, I want Rims that are similar because i think they really suit the car, as its a Gsi i want to keep the apperance realitvely standard and just put money into the engine and chassis. I looked at another Gsi last week and it had anthracite 18`s on, looked horrible really ruined the car, i think subtle styling is the best approach with these cars.

No I agree they suit the car etc, but just pay extra and get the real ones in that case
