Do you know where can I buy standard plain steel wheels from?

The mk3 is 5x100 Studs, so the mk3 and mk4 golfs have the same wheels. Have a look on ebay, or classfieds sections on this forum and edition38 forum.

If you can find New Beetle steel wheels they are 16".

No not as far as I know, some Audis are available but will not fit.

Just spoke with VW main dealer. They confirmed the biggest in the VW range is the beetle at 16". £56 per wheel but he does'nt think they will fit? Audi said nothing comes with steels now. Was thinking a scrap yard!

So basically just need to find a manufacture who has a vehicle within their range that comes with 17" standard wheels with 5 x 100 pattern...

You can get adapaters to fit other stud patterns, but this will effect the ofset and push it into the arch more, but that only matters if you go low enough to catch.

Yes Beetle wheels will fit, have seen them loads of times.
