hi everyone, im lloking to buy some bbs rims for my golf to make it look like a editon 30...ive seen these rims on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110595754294&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_14293wt_1137

ive been informed that i will need some new hub spacers as the wheels are a 5x100 fitment and my golf is 5x112...can anyone tell me where i can find these and how much do they roughly cost?

They will go on with spacer / adaptors. That should also sort out the offest difference as well.

You will be looking at around £100 for a set of hubcentric spacers, so not cheap. I have never liked the idea of them though. They move the wheel futher away from the hub and can cause additional strain on stub axles and bearings.

If you do go for thoughs wheels, I reckon they will go for a fair bit of money, then when you add on the spacers and a refurb, they will probably cost the same as a decent set of ED30's that will bolt straight on.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
