looks like some 80's space-age themed abortion :sick:
each to their own, however i would imagine standard steelies would be fine?
-
cheers for your input, yer i thort standard steelies would be fine but i just want to make sure, id also like to know where to get them from? please help somebody

if you have a look at a vw or hotrod site. they are moondisks and they will go on standard steels. have a look at big boys toys, they used to sell them for aircooled vw,s but i think you'll probably need 15 inch steels. dont know how they fit either. i assume there's something that clips to the wheel (in a similar way to a wheel trim) and the disk is then screwed to that.
they are a pretty old idea. i think they were first made by moon for the salt flat racers.

cheers mate, thats a bit more helpful, id like to know if i could get some bigger steelies to fit my mk2 then get these? just need to find them, looked on ebay and no luck, google'd it and still no luck :cry:
-
what about steel wheels from another car? would they fit? i heard something about wheels from a renault would fit?

Early BMW 3 series wheels perhaps??
-
there a different offset i think, i think ones from a vauxhall/renault would fit but im not 100 per cent
-
renault, vauxhall 3 series bmw are 4x100 which is same bolt pattern as vw. vauxhall have bigger offset (49mm?? as opposed to about 35 for a golf) so wont sit right. the centre bore will also be too small.(mk2 golf is 57.1mm most 4 stud vauhells are 56.1.
bmw wheels will go on but differences in offset will mean they will stick out about 10mm further than a vw wheel. also 4 stud 3 series wheels are 14 inch anyway(i think)
mx5 wheels would go but again, i think the steels were 14's
renault laguna, megane and espase 4 stud would work on a golf and i dare say they are probably 15's too
seat toledo would fit
if you want to check up on anything wheel related have a look at www.alloyguide.co.uk its a good site. search for your car and look at the spec for the wheels you need. you can then go through other manufacturers and search for cars with same stud pattern, offset and centre bore. it mainly lists more modern stuff but there's a fair old whack of 90's stuff too. hope that helps
