What have you bought your VW for christmas?

[jte]

They are quite a long way from me, but i don't mind a bit of a road trip after christmas, i'll just have to take some turkey sandwiches for the journey

Yeah, everything he mentioned in the description sounded like he wasn't interested in posting them at all!

I've been on the look out for a set of these wheels for ages.? I did find out that you can use BBS RX2s from a MK4 GTI, but they came with 205/55/16 tyres rather than the 215/40/16s from the mk3 anniversary wheels, so to keep the speedo reading correctly you would have to replace all four tyres before fitting the wheels to a mk3.

The good news is that the mk4 ones are much more common and a bit cheaper.

I don't know if there were any other differences.

bad news is the mk4 ones are .5 inch narrower


if u look down you;ll see a post of me where i missed the anniv gear knob the guy you got the wheels from..

and a set of mk3 anniv wheels within 80 miles of here.. owww

I didn't realise that.  Hence the different tyre spec i suppose.

Owww indeed, i have tracked a couple of auctions on these wheels where it's just gone mad in the last minutes.  I think i got lucky with these ones.

Good luck with getting a set mate.  I think they would look especially great on a black car!
