Well if they're off a mk1 leon then yes they'd be 5x100 pcd just like our golfs.

You will need to change the tyres, they will have mk4 size as standard

they come with no tires. they have just been freshly refurbed

With no clue as to if it was wheels only in the opening post I took a stab in the dark and failed :grin:

agreed like the bbs   :cool:,thought about getting a set a while back till i got the rx2's
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: Wayne on 28 June 2012, 09:12
BBS's get my vote :smiley:
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: stainesy on 28 June 2012, 09:23
really? even tho they are only 15"? im not sure i kinda want 16" wheels now. i do like the bbs tho. although i quickly photoshopped the seat leon wheels on my car. the ones i may be buying have just been refurbed in the black tho but you get the idea.
this is the closest i can get them to look like the ones im looking at. they are just a bit darker
the seat ones are 20 spoke and spokes a little bit thicker

Seat ones are nice...but bbs ones get my vote.
Pretty close though!!! Shame the bbs aren't 16's.
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: VR6_Wherry on 28 June 2012, 10:12
I've had thosebbs on mine, b1tch to clean. Would go for the 16s
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: murraymint on 28 June 2012, 10:15
16s suit mk3 better IMO, 15s look just a little small
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: Junior74 on 28 June 2012, 10:27
I agree...16's are a better size...
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: leigh_harty on 28 June 2012, 11:02
15's are good to get the lows  :cool:

Although I'm liking them seat wheels on your car I'd still go for the bbs's
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: Gti_Jamo on 28 June 2012, 11:26
Those Leon wheels are a b!tch to keep clean, especially in white but I like them. Run without the centre caps!!
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: stainesy on 28 June 2012, 11:27
yeah that was my plan as the centre caps look gash.

bbs, not keen on the corrado ones, but i think if they were a different colour they'd gt a look in.. :smiley:

If I could afford other BBS that corrado ones mate I'd be riding on polished split rims  :grin:
If it wasnt for the fact I really want 16's this time as my black mk3 on its 15's was just to much hassle being that low.
Title: Re: would seat wheels fit my mk3 gti?
Post by: DUBboi12 on 28 June 2012, 16:06
I would go for the cupra wheels purely because they are 16s  :smiley: and plus I like the look of them lol

Post by: stainesy on 28 June 2012, 17:01
