No catch and I have no clue why they are so cheap and why nobody is jumping on it. Additionally i actually got the first set of caps to fit, using my trusty dremel. Attached is the pics with the caps.

hmm they definitely look good and all, and props for saving yourself some money. but....

i probably wouldn't buy a set of $99 "mystery rims" on ebay for the same reason i wouldn't buy a $250 "KO4 TURBO CHARGER" on ebay.

and et50? hello spacers.

You have a good point. But I figured it may not be that bad. The only place on the web I could see anybody selling them was here: http://www.volkswagenspares.com/page...age=New+Alloys, and even with that the picture the place had up wasbeing linked from here: http://www.alloywheels.uk.com, so after all that i figured it couldn't be that bad.
