Mk3 + Porsche Rims?

[rayray086]

pull??? more like tub! woohooooooo !! would look awesome tho!

but def no chance of "standard fitment rubber......

Haha yeah, never going to happen... best bet would be to look for two pairs of the 7.5" if you want to stick with little/no stretch.

What happens with the rolling diameter change? How bad will it be with 17's as opposed to the 15's right now?

[The_Hawk]

My 16" running 205/45R16 put the speedo almost 100% perfect. With 215/40R17 it's supposedly damn close to the same (or so I'm told).

Yeah, I keep thinking I should try to get a 7.5" all round, damn shame they don't make those wheels in 16"

If nothing else I'm happy to see that I can find a number of sets round the AU$1,000 mark (+ shipping of course). I'm not in a big rush to get them. Until I find something else, they are THE WHEEL I keep coming back to. I just want them.

you can get those wheels in 16"...seen them somewhere...they are copies tho.

I can live with that. There is a line between a quality original product and decent replacement, as long as it's a half decent construction I'm there with bells on.

If anyone happens to know who make replica's, let me know and I'll look into it.

A rolling diameter size calculator I use is one from 1010tires.com. Very helpful and easy to use!

Aaron, give Peter @ OZWheels a call on 0404844806. His shop is in St Marys (previously Leppington) and I remember he makes Porsche replica wheels, except in multi-piece form. They're custom made to your dimensions/specs/colour/finish, but don't come cheap at $650-ish per wheel before tyres. Check out http://www.ozwheelaustralia.com.au/2.html - it hasn't been updated for years though and last I went there was more than a year ago, but I think he should still make them.

Now that looks pretty hot. A little more than I would like to spend, but custom made means no adaptors and that saves you near $1,000 before you start looking at the wheels themselves (for good adaptors that is...).

Interesting, very interesting...

That was the price quoted to me as I was asking about them in 16". I stopped asking further after hearing the price haha. You gotta know that they're custom made so price would fluctuate up and down and all around! Give him a call/visit at least... he usually has quite the wheel porn hanging down on walls and around the counter.

Consider a set of genuine ones are cheap at say $1000 + shipping from the states, adaptors are close to $1,000...

Oh... and they look HOT

I am definately going to look at that place, even if I have to choke and walk out because it's too expensive, I need to have a look.

[rayray086]

Fair enough! I'll try and dig the address up...

Bingo:

86 Glosit St, St Marys, NSW 2760
(02) 9623 7179

Good luck!
