Mk5 gti wheels on mk3 gti anyone?
« on: 04 May 2008, 17:30 »
Anyone got any pics of a mk3 gti with mk5 gti 17's on? They've got kinda half circle curvy spokes, Thinkin of gettin some, what you recon?

Im on standard gti wheels at the mo, but is there alot of differance to handling and performance?

they do look good but dont have a picture....only thing is either they need to be copy's or you need 5x112 hub adaptors

The bloke who is sellin them said there off a 5 stud polo, which are 5x100 i think so they will fit and he bought them a year ago so there not standard, so think they are replica's.

My girlfriends mum has got some on her mk5 and i tried getting them off to try them on mine but they won't come off! any ideas?....
