Title: Mk4 Turbo 16" Alloys
Post by: Cupra Turbo on 11 March 2004, 23:13

What year did these first appear on?

I'm looking at maybe buying a 150Bhp mk4 next year, but i WANT one with those 16" alloys.

Ive seen sum older ones with the 2.0 wheels... and i HATE those wheels and I dont wanna fork out ?1000 for alloys when i can have a newer car and pay ?500 and get those wheels with it!

So what reg did they start on... anyone know?

i *think* the 16" montreal I's were on 1.8T's from '98... with the montreal II's following a couple of years later.

Not sure exactly what you're asking black - The turbo has always had 16" wheels as std.

Montreal 1's were from launch to 2000. These are the flat five spoke jobbies.

Montreal 2's were then made standard from 2000 onwards. These are what is fitted to mine (see gallery).

Don't let that sway your car buying, as they're always available on ebay. Buy the right car and change the wheels if necessary

You can pick up a set of Monty 2's for ?300-400 now dependant on tyre condition. I sold mine only a few weeks ago for ?280!

Like those RS2's ... they look like the BBS wheels found on the mk3 Anniversary!

They are BBS Split rims. Were an option on the 150PD. need to watch for flaking laquer though.

The wheels on mine are AVUS (or something like that) 15" alloys.

The later models (i.e. 2 litre Mk4 GTIs) had AVUS II 15"ers.  These are similar to mine but with a split down the middle of each spoke.  Are these the ones your talking about?

The wheels you guys are talking about are the BBS RS2's that were a cost option on the PD150 and the 1.8GTi from 2002 onwards. Nice wheels, just shame about the finish of the BBS wheels and cleaning them looks like fun.
