Title: Getting Porsche Alloys onto a Mark 4
Post by: Mark Thomas on 09 March 2006, 21:37: I've been looking around at different alloys I've noticed some really nice Porsche rims about. I'm really interested in the Porsche Turbo alloys seen here

Anyone have any idea where I can buy adapters?

All help appreciated

If not, I'm sure that a good machinist could knock an adapter up :undecided:

I'll give them a call tomorrow, see if it can be done, if not then it'll have to be the Porsche Turbo style alloys. Thanks for the info.
