If you want Porsche wheels that much, why don't you buy a 924 or 944 as they generally come with Porsche wheels and will go and handle better than most Golfs.

Small world... I've just been through the 944's on pistonheads. And the Merc 190e Cosworths.

Or for people who want a larger than stock, but uncluttered, more oem looking wheel :rolleyes:

Post by: edd16v on 24 February 2008, 21:07: I think D90's look just right on the Mk2, Ive been considering putting some on mine but I don't really like the idea of using hub adapters. I haven't heard any horror stories from using hub adapters but it just doesn't seem like good engineering practice to me!

What do you think?
