Title: what porsche wheels look good and fit ok on mk3 golf?
Post by: stainesy on 20 August 2012, 14:08: ok as of next weekend i will most likely have a new car but also a set of teledials and adaptors. so before i start looking at buying banded steels or anything and sell the teledials i was thinking i may put the adaptors to use and sell the teledials if i find a set of porsche wheels i like. but i have no idea about porsche wheels so has anybody got any pics or advice on nice porsche wheels that work well on the mk3?

Looks likely I will be getting the teledials from DUBboi12
Just trying to do my homework on the wheels as they are 15" teledials but the rears have a dish but the fromts are the total opasit with the centres poking write out and the rims go in. Been trying to find out if they came off a Porsche like that or if they are a miss matched pair.
The fronts I have found out are early teledials but when ever I type that in to google I get pics of all 4 wheels with the centres poking out. So I think somebody has put a pair of dished teledials with a pair of early centre poke teledials but I could be wrong. Anybody got any info on this?

these are what the front ones look like. but the rears are a little bit deep dish.

Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 20 August 2012, 20:20: I think the dished ones are from the rare early 944 turbo and the others are from the later 944. They should be the same front and back so as you say someone has mixed them.

Thats what my porsche nut Dad says anyway :laugh:

Post by: F17BAD on 20 August 2012, 20:50: Porsche rims are usually staggered

my D90s were 6" fronts and 8" rear, i had to buy 2 sets to get the 4 x 8" that i wanted

Post by: stainesy on 20 August 2012, 20:59: yeah but if you look they are also a diferant style teledial. the fronts dont have that curve between the holes. the rears look like normal teledials to me and the fronts very early ones i recon

Post by: Wayne on 20 August 2012, 21:09: I have always had a soft spot for the 928's but in polished finish.

Post by: Junior74 on 20 August 2012, 22:07: D90's or 928's...... :cool:
Title: Re: what porsche wheels look good and fit ok on mk3 golf?
Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 20 August 2012, 22:17: fronts and rears will have different offsets but the style should be the same. Pretty sure the dished ones are off an early 944 turbo, googeling around for pics it seems quite common on a golf to mix them and put the dish on the rear so should be pretty easy to find another set of mixed ones and match them back up if you wanted though it could be tricky finding the right offsets

Post by: JayNesbitt on 21 August 2012, 14:52: I had 928's on mine until a few days ago

they sit so right on the rear but my fronts had a strange ET so sat to tucked for my liking (only had 20mm adapters too)

Everyone talks of mk3's on 928's yet i rarely see them anywhere!!
