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,

  • 86 golf cabrio wheels

    Hi First post on here I just recently purchased a 1986 Golf cabriolet I think it's a Hong Kong import originally any way it came with big aftermarket 17" wheels & tyres and makes the steering very heavy, Just wondering what would be a good recommendation in reduced wheel size say 15" or 14" and what tyre size? Or what would be the original style wheels that came with the car? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Welcome to the forum.

    15 x 6 or 7 is a good choice with 195x50x15 size tyres. Lots of options out there that aren't too expensive.

    Cheers

      I have a set of 4 x 100 BBS style wheels. They are often called basket weave pattern and were an option on the BMW E30 range and are genuine factory BMW. Might pay to check they will fit - but they fit my Mk3 Golf Cabriolet.

      I am going to sell them. They are in very really good order and I can send you photos if you wish but best to google the style first and see if you like them.

      They are 14 inch and have 195 tyres so they should fill out the guards nicely or should I say, they wont look out of place on your Mk1.

      Just an idea.

          Hi David I know the wheels your talking about they actually would suit the car especially for the age of the car and thanks for the information & advice.
