Ronal turbo's in 5x100? Interesting, I've never seen them. Any pic's?  :nerd:

Agree they probably wouldn't look right on a mk3. Can't go wrong with a classic mesh.



The R10 version isonly available in 4stud and 15", however the R50 is available in 16" and 18" an 5stud

Aw, yeah, I knew that... :grin:

I thought there was R10 or Turbo's in 5x100.

I have heard of a company local to me that will fill and redrill alloys. Possibly widen OEM ones too but it's still early doors regarding that :wink:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Well will be spunking me money on new wheels this sterday and have decided to go for some lenso bsx in silver. I no some say they are bad quality but my car is garaged when ever not in use and polished every week so hoping they will last.
As I got £700 to spend but now also want a new drivers side side skirt, clear wing indicators, flywheel cover and a few other bits ready for santapod in aprill.

Et20 will be a tight fit on the front.

you may need to roll the arches. Consider that OEM is around et42 you order et20 and chances are it's a wider wheel so yeah you may have tyre to arch issues.

Not a great idea to remove the inner arches complete, try and trim them down.
