Location: Kingsbridge, Devon		Nice! Would be soooo tempting to get them banded and add another couple of inches to the width! (Would probably create some rubbing issues -i know)

yeah, but the offset is slightly different, so you will need to roll the arches

what have you done with them now?

beens as the offset is different to a metro i cant see how you managed to not get any rubbing with standard arches? especially if your suspension is lowered?

Location: Germany		These are definitely 14" wheel trims and were used on a MGF.

Just bought a set and I'll see how it looks on a Metro (MKIII).

I have a white GTI and this could give it a bit of a MKII 80ies look.

So maybe worth a try!

Good to know. So I don't expect any problems with fitting. Just need to get four tires...
