What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[Mr Messy]

I scraped together pics and whatnot for its sale, I'm doing the swtich to a black Mk5 Jetta 2.0T DSG with sunroof, leather, 18s etc.
I know I'm going to miss the Golf though...

New wheels arrived today
BBS Impuls.
17x8 ET35 17x9 ET38
Weighing in at just over 9kg each!

If you don't mind me asking, how much and from where? I've loved these wheels for sooo long, i'd love to paint the centers matt black and lips in the same BMP as my car...

Also, could anyone tell me how et35-et38 would fit on a MK4 R32? I'm not quite clued up with wheels yet, not 100% sure on the affect of having less offset than the stock wheels will be...help?

what width are you after???

[trickysimon]

Got them off ebay seller c-redtuning. Not going to recommend him though as he was rude and the wheels were packed pretty dodgy considering they were coming all the way from Perth. I payed $1600 for them.

ET35 and ET38 should be perfect for our MKIVs (apparently) depending of course on width.

8" front 9" rear, same as Trickys. Found a couple sets, but they're overseas, so i expect shipping to be an arm and a leg....

Ah ok man fair enough, is he a dealer?? Or was it just some bloke who had them laying around? $1600 isn't too bad though.

[r32 uberwagen]

ah yeah, nice.. nice.

smooth? as in shape the bumper to your liking?

nah, i mean take the side bump strips off the doors, fill in the bumper holes and maybe convert to a mkV style rear badge. ive always liked the way they look, minus the rear handle, its just a matter of finding the time and a place willing to!

et35 should be fine with those widths, use the offset calculator and do some measurements if you are unsure. I'm just going off what i know about the boras
Calculator Here

is anyone in oz running 9" in front and not sitting mexican? hoping to shoehorn 9's in front and 10 or 10.5 in the rear. would be good to get some reference.

[Driven Threads]

Went for a bit of a fang in the dandenongs, with a bit of off-roading as well.

That's Jeff (owner) or Marc (manager) from WA. I know those guys from the Skyline club. Good blokes, been in the industry a while. Tell em "Shan from SAU" referred you, they might hook you up a discount.

As long as it's not followed by the "Who...?", "Ah, he said to mention his name", "Why?", "Err..nevermind", awkward conversation afterwards... lol.

haha. so true. nothing like a failed name drop. (generally speaking)(no offence, )

[funkymonkey]

lol I'd hope Jeff remembers my name, I run the forum he's a business advertiser on. Although, discount isn't guranteed him running a business and all. Worth a try.

Had the last of the parts off the bora today, and its gone to a new home
