I have no idea, it's from another forum, those ones are for sale. :smiley:
-

-
Ive always thought they looked the business on a mk3.
-

Len you are such a sexual predator its untrue... :laugh:
-
I swear they are done nearly as much as D90's...
Looking for a set myself for winters!
They didn't happen to be 7J all round did they?
-
nah, they're staggered. There is a set of 7J all round on ebay and I think they're only on about £31
-
Linky pleaseeeeeee?

I do love them.
-
Nice one Jim!
Shame they're so far away :'( Looks like they could go for a steal!!
-
yeah, that is quite far away. To be fair, if they go for that much of a steal I had a set of wheels delivered from essex to lincoln for about £30. I think the courier company was called parcel2go.

Those tyres are MONSTERS!!! :tongue:
-
Anyone any good with a photochop to get a pic of a mk3 with these on? That would be seriously original and I reckon they would look the shiz! :cool:
-
I love banded steels, and haven't seen many on a mk3 Golf, but I would like to find something completely different, hence me stumbling across the wheels above. haha
-
There are loads of pictures of mk3's with banded steels on here mate.

928 wheels are very cheap unless they are in the VW scene. Most 928 owners dislike them because they look w@nk on a 928.
Early wheels up to and including 1986 on the S2 were 7 inch wide front and back. 87 S4 cars had 7 inch wide on the front and 8 inch wide on the rear. Hope this helps.
I nearly had to give my standard 928 wheels away just to get rid of them.

thai wronghorse - Yeah, seen that website (although heard a lot of bad things about that company). There's a handful of mk3's on banded steels there, and I love them all, except the colours of one or two. I really think the wheels suit the mk3. If I go for bandies I'll probably run them black with VW chrome centre caps. I've not seen a mk3 running them like that.
Paul86S2 - Those wheels do look great on a mk3, the reason I'm tempted for these over the bandies is cost. If you can pick up a pair for a good price, then even with the adaptors they work out cheaper than most other wheels. Saying that they seem to be really very popular within the mk3 community.
What I need is a cheap set of wheels that look amazing on a mk3 and have never been put on one before. That can't be too hard surely :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Haha
-
Got a staggered set that could possibly be for sale that I had on the lupo. They need some polishing at the moment.

Metal Centre caps can be expensive too.

Sexual.

Them caps need alot better polishing
i have 8 x caps iv done all look like this, took me 2 hours per cap, for the polishing and hand painting of the crest (which was removed to paint) the speckles are dust particles, these are so good i hate putting them on the car hahaha

I was going to be less than complimentary but refrained in case she was a mate of Jimmy's!
-
She isn't, feel free to let loose :grin:
-
Cheers Jimmy!
But I think the moment has passed now! :grin:
-
Hahaha. Ok, I'll make another post and set it up again :laugh:

Think outside the box, lot of choices.
-
Yeah, I'm keeping an eye out at the minute. Think I'm gonna go for bandies for the time being and see what comes up in the future.

That was the first attempt and wasn't bothered about whether they were perfect. I wouldn't run fully polished wheels again. :sad: I'd rather spend time driving it that cleaning it.
Too much hassle kepping them nice. Your lucky you only have to worry about the caps.
-
mate thats the very reason the rest of the wheels were not done FOOOOK THAT, its hard enough keeping the caps right, such to the state iv bought black caps for daily use and just run the polished ones in propper summer.
Its also hard keeping my engine in order, thats also polished.. so yea totally hear you polished is a pain in the ass
-
But Brad you are a cleaning PERVERT :afro:
-
Hahaha, yep, their is that too (P.S car is even lower now, me and jonny flaired the arches more)
-
I look forward to seeing it! you may have to joey a set of rears for me when i'm next up too :evil:
-
will do mate for sure, and ill get a sneaky pic once iv cleaned it on weekend

I do love them.
Am i right in thinking these would need adaptors as they have a 130 pcd?
-
yeah, they're about £130
-
think ill knock some adaptors up at work out of mild steel lol
-
Adapters are needed but mild steel is a bit heavy. You don't really want to be adding that much unsprung weight.

Yes adaptors needed.
