Wheel opinions, GTC01

[s4mmie]

Need an opinion on these wheels...

Enkei GTC01, Hyper Black --



I did a rough shop to see what they would look like --




Has anyone seen them on a polo? I saw them on Sat at the pog wars on a red MK6 and I loved them.
They come in 17x8 ET35, which according to a wheel calculator gives me 16mm less clearance on the inside and they'll protrude 22mm.
Any educated guesses whether these will fit?

Hey mate, those are hot looking wheels especially against the red. Saw them on Sat too. The good news is they will fit if the come in PDC of 5x100. They are exactly the same size as my RPF1's. The bad new is if you want to run anything wider than a 205 tyre you may have to get your guards rolled. I had some Goodyear 215/40R17 GS-D3's which I don't think would have scrubbed if my guards weren't rolled. Bit of stretch was present. Where as even though my Federals are the same size I had to roll the guards even more because of how wide they are.

Cheers.

35 offset is just a scratch too much offset IMO, but very close either way. Likely to rub, but look great (love my Enkei's).

Good stuff
Yep they come in the magical 5x100.
Mind if I asked where you sourced your Enkeis from?

Got mine from tirerack bud

Sam can ou get the GTCs in 16"?

[s4mmie]

Hmm tried looking, pretty sure they're 17 and up

8inch, at ET35, is spot on. My OZs scrub just a whisker on the front left, with 215/40/17 Pirelli's. No scrub at all with the Bridgestone in the same size though.

Do eeeeeeet!

Shame. I'd love some nice light 16" wheels with big grippy tyres.

Nice, Well I've sent an enquiry to tirerack.com to see if they can get them in the right specs.
If they can, all systems go.

Would people recommend just ordering the rims and sourcing tyres here?
