I picked up a set of 5 R-10's for my '79 Scirocco... I used to have a set
of the original R-10's and the new R-10 is much heavier.. 
I was also disappointed in the finish, the clearcoat had a lot of dust
specks, and there was insufficient black paint on the inside of most of
the wheels. 

They are now on the http://www.ronalusa.com/ website. 

Here is a scanned copy of the R-10 info sheet

$350 is a great price, the best I could do is $450 delivered west coast,
and $500 for east coast delivery.
