wheel offsets
« on: 12 January 2006, 22:43 »
I need help! i own a vw golf mk3 but recently came off the road in icy conditions. All is well but im in need of new alloys wheels. On ebay i've found a nice set of BMW Split rims for 3 series Alpina. Only problem is: Will the offset be the same??? a rear wheel drive to a front wheel drive may differ, but if so how do people have porsche alloywheels on their vw's

Also going to be selling 2 Lenso 17inch RS5's with sprayed black spokes and polished outa rim....
If anyone can help let me no...
