plenty of places on the net that do them, do a google search

for example Venom Motorsport, Eurotek, GwentVW to name but a few...

However, you do realise that running adaptors will push the wheels out by at least 20mm

It's gti's and the vr that have the 5 stud axle's.....What alloy's are they and size's etc..
and as a follow on from pegasus mk3's need the extra width as without spacer's the wheel's sit in the arch too much (look at mine at the back!!!!)

I have put the GTI Alloys on Ebay and will buy soem 4 stud ones when they sell. You live and learn.  :rolleyes:
