Title: Found the perfect wheels!! But need help asap!
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 26 April 2008, 10:09
Only got 1 day left, I'll buy them if encouraged lol!

They are 16s, and 4 stud, they will look sweet on my Golf as I've seen many like it, and they are VW ones too so no extra Mr. Insurance man lol!

How much do we think a courier would cost? Because this guy is like 5 hours away from me.

I'll look into it. I'll see if I win these, if I don't, I'm looking at these:

Pretty much the same design and will still look good, but aren't VW...

P.S. Will those BBS VW fit right? Are they correct fitment?

them in the link you posted won't fit!! there wrong stud pattern but any 4x100 vw fitment will fit (mk2 golf bbs are best bet)

4x100? That's what it says on the first set I posted?  :undecided:

4 studs with distance between opposite bolts of 100mm... And it's not only vw that uses 4x100 so fitting non vw fitment wheels you may also need spiggot rings (thats the center diameter where the wheel bolts to the hub).... you can buy these from most wheel places but it's a hassle

No link was posted but would think Polo ones will be ok.

Those Polo alloys will fit, I looked for a cheap set for ages but gave up!! they will look sweet! the only thing i would say is, those arent from the Gti but they will fit, the Gti ones were actual split rims, but these will still look nice!

Thanks for the help. Not bothered where they are from mind. They look the shizzle and they are VW ones so my problem is solved easily about insurance.

"I'm sorry Mr. Insurer but I assumed they were standard as they are VW ones and were on the car when I bought them."

LOL!

Post by: Shady Pioneer on 26 April 2008, 12:11
One of them has some bad curbing but I couldn't care less lol! I'll get it sorted if I get them at a later date.

If and when I do get alloys, I need to sell mine on, need someone to buy them though...hmmm...lol! Think I'd ask £50 odd, everyone think that's fair?
