I really like these wheels ,its a shame they didnt  continue to fit them on the 16v instead of the 8v and 16v sharing the longbeach.

Title: Re: Anyone know the name for these alloys?

5x100 is the PCd measurement.It's basically the measurement between the mounting holes and the amount of.Only the mk3 gti's use 5 stud,all other mk3's use 4 stud.Mk4 uses 5x100 as well.

PCD:

PCD stands for (pitch circle diameter) and is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheels bolt holes. PCD is measured in millimetres and also indicates the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have.

The most common fitment has 4 studs and a PCD of 100mm, hence the fitment 4x100. Check the fitment guide above to check the fitment of your car, if you are unsure consult a technician.

OFFSET (also referred to as 'ET'):

Your car requires a unique offset. Simply this is where the outside of the wheel needs to be in relation to the bodyline of the vehicle, realistically you can go 5-7mm outside these recommendations, but always consult a technician if you are unsure, as there are often other factors that need to be considered.

Hope that helps! :)
