i wouldnt pay more than a $1100 for those with decent tires and centercaps. those tires have nice grip, but are you looking to pay extra for that?
theyre 18x8 et38 right? it'll fit. you wont be able to find hub rings for them. |

Gold painted... as in the owner painted them? If so, I wouldnt give much for the rims unless he had them professionally done, or you REALLY know the guy and his skill level at doing that type of work. The last thing you want is a set of flaking rims down the road.
The tires run about $200/each new if I recall correctly . So include wear into the equation on those. |

The stock MK4 GLI wheels were18"x7.5"... (minor detail.)
For $1200, I would look for a set w/ the BBS centercaps.
EDIT:
Legit...
