got a guy wanting a straight swap.

The borbet his has are 16" by 7.5 so they would be hell wide and offset i assume to be around 20+

let me know what you think.

I like them, and quite a bit more than the ones on your beastie.

Borbet's rock with the slammed look. While they are good for cruising they aren't the end all in dynamics. I have some 15x7 Buddy clubs for your mk1 et40?

I have the same rim on my Scirocco Will and the catch everywhere. Check em on your cr first.

Considering a 6" wide wheel on a mk1 with +35 offset sits flush with the guard an extra 30mm (assuming they are et25) width on the outside of the wheel equates to a bit of guard rolling...
