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,

  • sportmax wheels

    there seems to be a bit of hate for these wheels on vortex, but they dont seem that horrible to me?



    they're 15x8 (a little stretch ) and i'm seriously considering them for my golf.

    are the bolts real or just for show?
    Cos fake multi piece rims make baby jesus cry

    The design overall is quite nice. The extra holes are a bit of a turn-off for me though.

        yeah not digging those man. they'd be sweet if they were 3peice but if they're not then they're gay.

        i reckon go for the simmons anti-bowl 3peice. buy two sets, one set of 8 wide and oen of 9 wide and make 2 staggered sets

          borbet a's are the best *cough cough*

          tbh not a fan of those, goto ebay and check xxr 513 wheels. they are cheap, 15x8 and look like superlites!

            I quite like the design, but I agree with what Tim says about the second stud pattern..

            And about the bolts...sure, if you know they're fake it obviously looks stupid, but if you're not thinking about that and just thinking about the looks I don't think they look TOO horrible either.

            EDIT: Superlites FTW though

              Yeah, hate stems from the fact that they're just one-piece, multi-fitment and horrible offsets. Wasn't it ET0 for the 15x8?

                mhmm. they also come in et 15, but yeah, i was disgusted the other day at a jag xk with stock 20's with random fake bolts insinuating multipiece.

                i need wider wheels! mine are 15x5.5 atm! does anyone know where i can get some kodiak/schmidt lips that aren't like 8 billion dollars? i have a plan. all this three piece talk gets me-a-thinkin.

                  They're a good option if you looking for generic wheels. Sportmaxxes really aren't that bad I have a set and they've copped some abuse, and held up really well and can be balanced right.

                  I too had the same dilemma jay, you just cannot find a nice set of wheels in 4x100, that aren't a cajillion dollars. At least the next car I'm getting comes in a 4x108, 9 inch cortina steelies FTW!

                    i noticed all the hate on vortex for these. i actually really like them apart from the weird bolt pattern and i'd definitely rock em. love the small and wide look on wheels.
                    edit they look kinda like those gold work equips, i forget the number - which i also love
