MK 4 rims

What do i need to take into account when looking for new rims for my car?

Momo wheels

Hi the turbo,
once again, a warm welcome to the forum.
I have a set of Momo 17in mags to suit a mk4 Golf. They were on a new beetle. They are 17 x 8 et35. The tyres are 60% worn 245s. I can fit a couple to a customers Golf to show yoy what they look like. Nice looking wheel. Might take me a couple of weeks to get the pics though as I am off to this GTI thing in melbourne. They cost in excess of $3000 a few years ago and my customer wants $1400. Freight might cost a bit too. No pressure mate and I hope in time you get something iut of the forum. Cheers, Andrew Robinson

what you have to look for in the wheels:
- big size = potential big damage due to potholes.
- et or offset for the golf should be 35
- your bolt pattern is 5 hole x 100 PCD
- check that centre bore is correct - if buying from a shop they would probably normally have a spigot? ring that is correct fo the car as 5x100 is same as celica/ camry - but centre bore is different

good luck - and wise advice - make sure you like em or you'll get sick of them!

I like these on a mk4 and they're in the VW range.

I saw these on a mk5 the other day and they looked awesome. I believe they're an american spec Gti wheel but I could be wrong.

I know they go on the 4Motions back in Hong Kong... but you maybe right as well that they are american GTI wheels

That one is called the Santa Monica IIRC fitted to UK 4Motions too.
