Post by: gibby on 15 August 2007, 11:15: 5 x 112 to fit a mk2 ! Is he sure. Not much of a BBS geek myself, but aren't these very cheap ?

Would love a set of 16s on my Rallye but I just couldn't be @rsed with the cleaning of them. :embarassed:

There is a guy on Edition38 who was selling a set for Ã‚£400!! :shocked: again they were 5x112 :sad:

Weld the old holes and drill new ones.

5 studs are worth less in the dub scene :wink:

you then need low profile 16'' tyres. The cost just adds up

Not that bad, a days work... considering you are saving nuff $$$ on the rims. Hubs from a scrappy can't be all that much cash? Mind you removing them might be a pain!
