Good on you oli :wink:
If these were in 5 stud i would defo buy some :smug:

How hard/expensive is it to convert to 4 stud ? :undecided:

For now, if you wanted some, the easiest way to do it would be with some 5x100 to 4x100 adapters. Extra cost but a simple bolt on and go.

I've also heard that there are companies that can redrill them. But I really don't know much about this and the cost.

Oh Really, I didnt know that. I guess most people are more likely to go 4x100 to 5x100 rather than visa versa

If we get a good demand for 5 stud then its something we would definitely look into doing soon. We can order these wheels (at this specific size) with any PCD but we have to order at least 50 sets for it to be viable. These wheels are perfect for mk2 and mk1 golfs but the question is, is 15x8 with ET 17 a desirable size for mk3 gti's? If 15x8 is desireable and would sell in those quantities we could definitely produce them soon. But if you guys mostly want a larger diameter we would have to make new moulds specific to that and that would take longer to produce.

15x8 would probably sell really well!. A lot of people would prefer 16x9 or 16x8 but i would seriously consider some 15x8 if the price was right! :afro:

Thanks, thats good to know.

What are other peoples thoughts on this?

+1. Hahahaha.

As far as 5x100 stud patterns go I think 15x8 and 16x8 would both sell well, as would staggered sets.  My favourite set up for a mk3 is 15x8 fronts and 15x9 rears, but I suspect later models would want a 16"

We have noticed that there are a few sceptics out there questioning the quality and finish of our wheels due to lack of feedback on Ebay. We understand you holding back and in order to put your minds at ease we will be offering 10 sets of our wheels at the special price of £325 exclusively for forum members. This offer is only available through e-bay as we want your feedback and intend to be creating wheels for you guys for a long-time to come!


Why not have a set crack tested by a engineering company, could help ease people's worries

16"s would sell better for a mk3, pointless fitting 15"s really as that is the standard size.
