Small Phat Wheels are a definate must do, but Not sure if the bulk of a mk3 would carry it off

i would put full red rear clusters on the back. Maybe M3 ones (red and the bottom, crystal at the top) 8)

im after Porsche 16'' wheels too ::)

If your mk3 has a 5 stud pattern i think they fit straight on.

If your mk3 has a 4 stud pattern then you can use H&R hub adapters that convert your hubs for the Porsche rims to fit. awesomegti.com sell them i think

You need h&r 5 stud hub adapters if you have 5studs already because the porsche rims have a different pcd or something. They cost ?200 a set so they aint cheap plus ?250 for a set of rims then about ?200 for tyres not cheap then you have to get the f**k*rs polished. :-\
