Getting Porsche Alloys onto a Mark 4
« on: 09 March 2006, 21:37 »
I've been looking around at different alloys I've noticed some really nice Porsche rims about. I'm really interested in the Porsche Turbo alloys seen here



Anyone have any idea where I can buy adapters?

All help appreciated

Thanks for the help, I'm also trying to figure out a way to get these Corvette wheels on a mark 4 Golf. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Corvette-1993-94-95-96-Alloy-Aluminum-Wheel-Rim_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34209QQitemZ4551628089QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V

Don't know if it's possible.

They do look nice, as for fitment I never heard of it being done, you will need to check the offset and pcd, ask the guys at gwent vw they will know.

If not, I'm sure that a good machinist could knock an adapter up :undecided:

I'll give them a call tomorrow, see if it can be done, if not then it'll have to be the Porsche Turbo style alloys. Thanks for the info.

About the corvette wheels 2 cars have had them on in PVW and apparently adapters were 36mm(f) and 40mm(r) but thats all they said. I think wheelbasedirect.co.uk do some porsche replica "cup turbo" alloys so would go straight on.

I take it that's Performance VW Magazine? I'll have to pick up a copy. Thanks for the info !
