Alpha wheels on a MK3
« on: 21 August 2008, 16:22 »
Would a set of Alpha 156 wheels fit a MK3 16v Gti?

Specifically these....

these alpha wheels sold for just £12.00!

I have been looking for a new set as mine are disgustingly bad. Just thought I would look at other wheels that our out there, like Merc ones etc, I know I might need adapter plates for the 112 pcd wheels but I am trying to be carefull about getting the right offset.

Suberu wheels seem to have the same PCD and an offset that might work. What about these......

The bore is 56.1 on a subaru and 57.1 on your car. don't think they will fit without machining.

this is proving to be more tricky than I thought

may stick to looking at Seat/VW/Audi wheels.
