Nice nice. it's looking good

lookin' good man!

are they golf 3 wheels they look ace very clean mk1 mate

[gldgti]

they're mk4 rims.... '97 i think, very last 4 studders you could get (apparently)

the other nice thing is that they fit PERFECTLY. offset is 35 as opposed to 38, making it a little more tough looking. the centre bore is 2 stage going from 73mm to 59mm, so no special spacer needed as they do centre on the mk1 hub perfectly, and clear the brakes too!

Good info on wheels

How about putting the info on those wheels in the "Wheels and Tyres" forum? It could be useful to others (I didn't know there were 4 and 5 studs fitted to Mk4s).
They certianly put the car into a diffrent class and now you're forcing me to put up pics of my Mk1 with it's Cheviots. "Wheels maketh the car..."

"Wheels maketh the car..."

very true, and i find it bizarre aswell, how much just the wheels can change the look of the car....

keep in mind the low resolution doesnt pick up all the paint defects guys! haha

Looks great. Loving the stance on it now too

I think they would be mk3 rims, i thought all mk4's were 5 stud? and i have seen those rims on many mk3's aswell.

They are the Mk3 rims not the Mk4, the Mk4 came in only a 5 stud pattern I'm pretty sure.

Top wheels though I like them and the car now looks more meaner me thinks!!!

[gldgti]

does anyone have a mk4 haynes? that would tell you whether there were any 4 stud versions...

[rayray086]

There were definitely 4-stud Mk4's. These came in the very early base models (1.6L). Mk3.5 Cabrios also came in 4-stud pattern. Peedman has a set of 4 stud Mk4 rims on his Mk3 too.

yeah the low spec mk4 had 4x100 stud (1.6's) had them. but they didnt come out till '98 those are mk3 wheels

Well if they are a 97 wheel then they must be a Mk3 cause the Mk3 came out till end of 97 didn't it?
