Edit: Looks nothing LIKE mine.

Will it work on a B6 or is it best just to get one from an RX7?

Not to gum up Regie's thread but no, the NB one won't work on an NA. If you're really that keen on it go the RX7 route but there are plenty of threads on the subject. Have a search around.

Some colour combos, not on an NB obviously.

silver on silver

bronze on silver

I would go gunmetal

It's very hard to replicate volk bronze, cause it's anodized, so you can't just buy a spray can.

might get some 5mm spacers eventually just to push the rims out a bit more...other than that, the offset is much better than the rims i had on before
