I'm not sure and can't decide!!! I need to get my 17'' Oz's off quickly they are too hard and jumpy!!
Cheers

Also will a wheel with et28 ,4x100 pcd, 15x7 fit a 1990 golf 16v?? may have the chance to get some nice alloys with these sizes but know that the golf is ET32 -38
Cheers
-
Should all fit, yes, and those look like the Le Castellet wheels that were an option (?) on later Mk 2s. There's one round the corner from me with those wheels and looks good IMO. :smiley:
-
just done a quick search for le castellet wheels and they do look similar. See how much I can get them for - maybe worth a punt!!!
-
Just got a chance at some ATS Cups that need a refurb I know a lot of folks rave about them what do reckon on beast???
-
they are actually called estorils, and are the perfect size for mk 2's!!! some people say these were a rare wheel and they often go for more money than they are worth, so if you can get them (off ebay...i saw them the other day!) they'll be fine. you'll also be able to sell them on easily enough as well if you get bored/get new wheels.
-
sorry, ATS cups are very popular round here but personally i don't like them on mk2's they look too small unless they have a serious dish. i'd refurb the estorils or mirror polish them. oem+ innit!! :wink:
-
i know it's a four door GL but it will give you some idea

Like em. Like Joe says, get them polished, ot do it yourself. Should look good.
-
too late I've missed them!!! they went for £112 on ebay!!! S*** F*** B******!!!!!
Will keep looking, I do fancy having a go at refurbing some!
Cheers for opinions though!!!
Any other possibilites apart from the obvious split rims - which I'm keeping my eye out for!!!
-
i have estorils on my mk2, anyone recommend any decent refurb places near enfield or brentwood..?
-
I'm awaiting the return of my Estorils from http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/index.htm they should be here on Friday I will post a picture when I get them.
-
Did some one say polished mint estorils....... :grin:
-
why are you taking off your 17's im rolling on 17's and apart from some low speep rubbing the ride is fine....
Jet :smiley:
-
I just feel the ride is too bouncy over bumps/potholes, 17''s only needed on a track not on a daily driver IMO! Anyway I've got a set of RMs on now, ride is fantastic and they don't look bad either!!!
-
cool show us the pics yeah???

Sorry i like the bbs I'm not into big wheels on golfs 15 inch with a big fat deep well polished dish that rocks my boat. Let the rice boys keep there 18 inch 5 spokes... :grin:
