Ive colour coded the insides of my steelies! Black car with Black steels and a polished lip. Looks sweeeet my man! :cool: Check my sig! (They arnt my steels on but you get the idea of what it'll look like)
If you want to leave them silver they still look cool, seen a few Mk2's with G60 steels on and they look subtle! :smiley:

still cheaper from VW.
Edit: my mistake, i just spoke to my mate who works at audi, he wasn't going to charge me VAT on them and put them through at cost aswell. :evil: so worked out cheaper than e-gay. Soz.

i bought some standard steelies at a knock down price as they had some decent tyres on them
I had just intended to use them as my winter wheels but liked them that much they will be a permanent fixture.
When the better weather arrives, they will be getting sprayed black to sit on my standard Tornado Red 90 spec 8valve.
Cheers A

Are htese wheels different to driver wheels? they look similar, or is that just me :D
Title: Re: Steel Heaven or not?
Post by: TanK_VW on 19 January 2006, 19:52
i think they are basically the same just the driver ones are smaller. as far as i know anyway

nah there, 15's with different sized holes and i think a bigger lip on them
Title: Re: Steel Heaven or not?
Post by: Si on 20 January 2006, 09:02
'Driver' steels are 14 inch diameter with round holes... 'G60' steels are 15 inch diameter with triangle style holes... Dish is same i think?!
If you ever see G60 steels and Driver wheels next to eachother you really can tell the difference! :cool:

So what would my 8valve 90 spec have rolled out the factory with then ?
Assuming the buyer was tight and didnt pay the extra for the bbs.
The steelies I have mentioned earlier must be the driver type based on the explanations above. But hey, I still like em' and thats all that matters.

8v's came with 14" steelies i think (same as Driver). If im right in saying the 16v's came with BBS wheels, or were optional extras?! :undecided:
