what are these wheels
« on: 11 August 2014, 16:51 »
Hey guys I have had my mk2 golf gti 16v for a year now, just wondered if anyone knows what these wheels are as I need to replace the wheel nuts - genuine vw nuts seem to have a different taper on the collar. The only writing on them is "made in italy" and they are 15". The spokes are totally flat. Cheers for any help!

OK the pic should be working now, my apologies. Any idea where I can get more information on the correct wheel nuts? I'm guessing they are probably very specific to the wheels...

Is the picture working for everyone? Does anyone have any idea what they are, or where I can find out more information?

Look like MIM 1900.

Most likely need a set of these:

Cheers dude, a guy from vwvortex forum suggested they are DP alloys, both sets look exactly the same to my eyes to be fair. Cheers for the wheels nuts link!
