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?
Title: Re: Porsche 928's
Post by: Jimmy Filth on 03 February 2011, 21:19
nah, they're staggered.  There is a set of 7J all round on ebay and I think they're only on about £31

Nice one Jim!
Shame they're so far away :'( Looks like they could go for a steal!!
Title: Re: Porsche 928's
Post by: Jimmy Filth on 03 February 2011, 21:32
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.

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:

Post by: Jimmy Filth on 03 February 2011, 22:03
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.

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.
Title: Re: Porsche 928's
Post by: F17BAD on 04 February 2011, 17:56
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

Am i right in thinking these would need adaptors as they have a 130 pcd?

Title: Re: Porsche 928's
Post by: tshirt2k on 04 February 2011, 21:17
Adapters are needed but mild steel is a bit heavy. You don't really want to be adding that much unsprung weight.
