    no, they're a different stud pattern. mk 5's are 5x112. mk 4's are 5x100

    This!

    If you really want them then you can get 5/100 -> 5/112 addaptors made up but they are a bit pricey and are not legal to use.

    The rims off a Polo GTI would fit, they're a similar style, but they're smaller and wouldn't look as impressive (in my opinion).

    try here for some window shopping, 143 diffrerent rims available.

    Wheels for 2000 Audi TT Coupe FWD

    for budgeting, allow around USD250 for freight, and if the wheels are under A$1000 theyy are duty and GST free.

    If over $1000, then add around 25% to your wheel plus freight cost to get you a delivered total cost

    also try this list ex uk

    most uk shops wont deliver to Oz, so forward them to ukbrandsworldwide.com - UK Specialists in Personal Shopping and Package Forwarding who have quoted me around £180 for freight to Oz

    I have a set of Audi S3 rims which look pretty sweet. Shoot me a PM if you're interested (they're in the for sale section).

    Yes that's the ones. They're 17" rims. Normally a 225 wide tyre is on them but a 215 or a 235 can also be legally fitted.
    In regards to the centre caps you can't get VW ones in the same style as far as I'm aware but what I would've done is leave them off and then find VW centre caps that fit (I think a stock 58mm cap will fit) and leave the bolts exposed or with caps on them as is the norm on most of the VW rims. Combined with a nice black or metallic shadow chrome paint job/powder coat they would look awesome.
