Clover leafs/leaves? are strictly for mk3's surely?   Since had centre cap stickers made with Audi rings on them. I love this car. |

After nine years of revised-model Hockenheims i decided i needed a change, and put a set of the correct early-model steels on. I still don't know if it was good or bad but it certainly did the trick of giving it a new look. Before  After  I like a cabriolet on steels, they could probably do with being a bit wider. The Polo ones certainly could.. |

Those cloverleafs need sending to Poland. Not Poland, but there has been a set sent to Kent for 'the treatment'. |

Factory steels and trims.  Lotus alloys.  Horrible trims.  Lovely factory trims.  Factory trims.  Xsara alloys.  Synergie trims.  Wheels make a ridiculously big difference to a car's overall appearance. |

The actual style of wheel doesnt really make much difference. Size makes the difference. Find the right size and you can put virtually any wheel on there and it will look good.

No no no, totally disagree, the style makes ALL the difference. Take the clover leaf previously mentioned in this thread. As mentioned only works on mk3 XR3, Working on your theory if you made it bigger for example it would work on say a 5 series BM, don't think so & thousands of other examples I could pick I think you will find that Slater is correct.
