steelies!

[KI11Z]

So people, maybe a silly question but . . . Whats the go with bigger wider steelies? How do you go about getting them or modifying originals?! I have no idea, all I know is that I've seen a picture of a mk3 with dished steelies and it looked the ducks nuts!

Original centres with wider barrels. Set your own offset. I've thought of having sets made but I'm not convinced people would pay $1200. Would you?

Holly damb! Is there such a thing as 17" steelies? and who and where do you have that done?

MK4 Golfs/Beetles have 16inch Steels std in a lot of markets, 5 stud though.
A mate of mine in the UK used some old Weller 8 spokes and std 13inch mk1 wheels to create the wide look.

He split both set up and welded the VW centres into the Weller rims. He made a good job of it. They don't wobble and are balanced prefectly.

People want stuff for no $$$. Pisses me off

The red VW is a Mk II Golf, so could they be Mk II wheels?

[silverMK1]

I think they look like mk2 steelies.... no1 can be sure though, unless your the owner..

They are Mk2 steelies, as the holes are circles, not triangles like on the Mk3 steelies.
DubstarMk2 made some widened steel wheels and it was serious grief. That is why they cost $$. Any wheel place that can repair or widen wheels can do it, but you need 2 sets of wheels and $$$$$.
Yeah pi$$es me off too Robin. The cheapo chav syndrome

Thanks guys, much appreciated! although i'm assuming no one knows of 17inch steelies?! btw those pictures look frikin awsome Green T4!

Firstly sorry Josh I do have issues but not with you mate. It would be cool to have some of these made up and offer them for sale. For anyone wondering why I am even posting, I priced this up some time ago and it would cost $1200 (new centres). I concluded interest would be minimal.

My rational was that offering BBS RS at this price was proving tough so for someone to fork out $$$ for wide steelies looked unlikely. Then again I've been wrong before

Then again I've been wrong before

When was this mate? :0)
