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.

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Seeing as how the car's beige, I was thinking gloss-black centers, gold-chrome plated bolts and center caps (because the caps have gold lettering on them), and polished lips (of course!)
I'll find out next weekend if they're worth it, after I've had a good look over them.Comment

I'd rock em! they look radComment

Glad you two like 'em. I'm not sure if I do haha. They should be the smallest size they came in, 15x6.5 +20.
I'll get the thinnest adaptors I can (if I do) because 4x114.3 is, as you know, a very common size, especially for older Japanese wheels.
So if I get a set of Starsharks with really low offset, i can squeeze them under the guards.
Listen to me, Getting so far ahead of myself! haha.Comment

THIS!! Amazing how a colour change can make them look so much better.Originally posted by IH8 View PostComment

If i think I can clean them up to look like those without machining heaps off the lips I'll grab them.
If they are in fact 3-piece, i will for sure. Want to rebuild a set of wheels. Just to learn.Comment

Oh they are just nice... I want to see these on the car ok? Soon!I'm going to the pub... I may be some time...

I'll see how I go. I'll test fit them if I get them and post pics.
I have to resist spending money to fit them/on other unnecessary crap until i've bought a windscreen and brakes.Comment

6.5 et 20. is about spot on. if you put 15mm spacers on, giving et 5 you'd get about 10-15mm of poke. From the back it'll look funning having really skinny wheels so far apart (imo)
I'd look at getting the wheels filled and drilled.Comment
-
Really? That much poke, huh?
Mmm well I'll wait and see.

yea, that's based on a 7" ET25 sitting approximately flush with the front gaurds. backs have a bit more room, and they all vary.
You could fit them if you got some stretch, camber and super thin adapters.Comment

Not going to go out of my way for these.
I want them because A) They're cheap. B) They're SSR's and C) They're 3-piece (i think) and I want to rebuild a set for the experience.Comment
