I think they mean theres no bore on the back for you to locate on the hub just held in with the bolts.. cant think of any other ??

Wheels are nice i wish i could think of ideas like that lol

i was told bmw wheels would be too wide to fit a mk4, passed up on a mint cheap set of e46 m3 alloys, gutted.


there actually a damn good looking wheel on that golf, if id seen them seperate i would have said they wouldnt suit it!


and +1, whats a centreless wheel?

E46 M3 wheels are too wide to fit on a mk4,well the rear wheels are,the offset is far too low to work with.

Picked up the M3 wheels earlier,they appear to be reps and are in worse condition than i thought so knocked the guy down to £60 which isn't bad for 4 wheels and tyres tbh.The inside of the wheel and spokes are black while the face is diamond cut,it's just the outer face that needs looking at,i'll have a go at sanding them if this rain ever stops and take it from there.

Had a quick go at sanding and lost interest within minutes,rang around and found a bloke that would sandblast them and took them down this morning.

The finish is very unique(they look like they are made of stone),i like the look and texture that much they are staying this way,once they have a coat of the same colour paint and a matt lacquer they are ready to go.

Pats pics do the rest

And the finish

chances are they have been glass beaded as it pits the metal much less and yer its a great look but the pits go deeper than people think so what you painting them matt silver ??


I love the choice mate and are they real staggered wheels ??

They were sand blasted,i stood there and watched him do it and the sand was all over the yard floor from previous jobs he's done.

Yeah they'll be getting painted the closest shade of silver i can find to how they are now.

As far as i can tell they are reps,all four are 7.5J
