Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

            they do look pretty sweet, but i hope they actually are 14x8... not many cars can tuck that if they're that wide.

              'the off set from the back of the mounting face to the outer edge of the in side of the rim is 133mm 5 1/4" ' how would this suit a mk1 guys?

                I dont even have a mk 1 anymore () and I still want them! cool as.

                couple things. you'll need different wheel bolts (or studs) centrebore spacers and you *may* have trouble clearing the front brakes on a mk 1.

                then tyre size, if they're actually 8" wide, i dont know what the hell tyre you'd run! (to try and keep it low profile still)

                From the info he's given, I figured it out to be about ET19. which is pretty good for an 8" on a mk 1! hopefully his measurements were accurate!

                  thats backspacing, take a wheel off your mk1, put a straight edge on the brakes where the wheel would normally sit, then count 133mm or 5 1/4"towards your suspension

                  ohh and i also seriously doubt they are 8" wide.... the barrels arnet wide enough

                  most people measure the size from far end to end, when infact its correctly measured from inner tyre bead's

                  THIS!! is a 14x8

                    so they would sit pretty well within the guards???why would you need centrebore spacers and different studs, im noob with wheels

                      Yea I reckon they're probably a 7" wheel too. don't look nearly wide enough for 8's!

                      would make the et32. which means you could fit spacers ont he front to clear brakes (if need be) and not poke a truck load!

                      More desirable as 7's imo

                      gemini wheels have studs and nuts, just cause they're different. Cb is also like70mm, ours is 57, hence the spacer

                      oh and 8's pretty much never fit within the gaurds or a mk 1!

                          its hard to tell with these wheels whether or not you need diff wheel nuts, from what i can tell, they just look like normal ball seats that would suit standard mk1 wheel bolts...
