Title: will these fit
Post by: gasketface on 15 August 2011, 10:48

Just been looking at these and notice they are off a gti which probably has 280mm front discs.I wonder if they are also compatible with the later 288mm front disc set up ?.

They will fit, bit not worth £250!

Yes they will fit but never worth the asking price.

You can get a set of Audi Speedlines with good tyres for that! Have a look in the Classifieds on here, lots of wheel choice for good money.  :wink:

sorry,i should have explained.I bought the set for £50 last night but then started to wonder if they would fit the later models with bigger discs as i could'nt see them on boneybradleys site under "wheels".I posted the first link because it gave more info about them being for early model so i started to wonder (worry) more.I only want them for winter as i have a set of these for summer :-

but mine are 16 inch with 5x100 pcd.Bought nearly two years ago,stripped,blasted centres,polished rims and centres are ready for paint.Now out of time to get finished for this year so the five spokes iv'e just bought will go on until next year,ho hum.

I ca'nt find a bigger pic but i know they are quite rare.I googled the part number when i got them and only got about 3 hits,all overseas.One reason why i guess i have'nt finished them yet,where would i find a replacement if i damage one !!!.
