  • Wheel Choice

    hey all, i have mk1 golf LS and wondering about wheel choice.
    what is that biggest size able to be fitted without too much hassle, and anyone have links to websites with wheel selections?

    any help would be appreciated.

    i think the biggest you should go for is 15's mate, least trouble and looks sweet dumped on a set of 15's.... im just dumping mine on the stock cheese cutters

    dude also put your location up

        depends on how much cash you have to throw around mate. my personal favourites are....The good old fashioned 'Hotwire' the BBS RS or RA, the 'Ronal Turbo' and A wheel made by 'Speedy Wheels' called 'Hyper Fang' (1 or 2) if your on a budget, or dont feel the need to import wheels, speedy make a pretty big selection of 15', golf fitting wheels. just go down to your local tyre/wheel joint and ask for some catalogues.

            so 16's dont need too much hassle to fit? also im after a selection of deep lip 5 spoke chrom wheels. i know this is a fussy selection but i want my golf to look the way i want it.

                I have 16's on my MK1 golf GLS.

                I like them, but the biggest problem is tyre choice and price. I run 205/40 Falken's for now, next will most likely be a 195 /45 not sure which brand yet.

                I am looking at some german steel rims 15's but very hard to get hold of.

                Good luck in your research and choice.

                    That would be 90s Passat 6/15 with 4/100.
                    Hey wolfsb why don't you have some made using mk3 centres and a after market 15 inch rim

                      OK, that's a 357 601 025M
                      15X6 ET38 (the correct offset for Golf 1 & 2)

                        These are the rims I am trying to get. I nearly got a set but the guy refused to ship them even though I told him I was happy to pay the cost.
