I assume the first ones are 18"?
my car is late offset I'm guessing yours is early so you could get a set of Fuchs at a much better price.....than me :D

Ken - As Andy hasn't replied I will! :D

Yes the first ones are 18", but no the others are late offset (52mm ish), so if your car is after '86 they are the same as Andy's.
