Title: Mk5 Alloys for my MK4
Post by: the_stink on 09 July 2007, 08:46: Does anyone know where i would be able to get some Mk5 alloys, had a look on ebay etc anywhere else worth looking? Has anyone else got the mK5 wheels on there mk4 ? good idea? i have seen them on one other mk4 and they do look pretty safe :grin:

MKIV = 5 x 100
MKV = 5 x 112

check out classified ads on here, ukmkiv's and piston heads.

you on about MKV GTI alloys or just MKV alloys in general?

not a fan of the GTI alloys on the MKIV to be honest but thats just my opinion :smiley:

i'll second that!

it can be done, as i've seen a few MK4's with the MK5 GTI rims.

Personally i don't like the look of the MK5 GTI rims on the MK4, however the MK5 R32 rims on a MK4 look quite smart.
