    MK1 Wheels/tires

    Hi All, I'm looking for a set of wheels and tires for my Mk1 to get it through a roadworthy before I put the wide ones back on.

    Any leads?

    WA seems a bit far from me - shipping costs would be huge to melbourne right? I want to pay as little as possible seeing I'm only gonna use them for 30 days! Last quote I had was 400 for a nice second hand set.

    Local wreckers should have something. You want 4 stud Honda, VW, old Toyota etc wheels. Take a ruler with you, you want 100mm diagonally from hole to hole to suit your car. 14 or 15 inch rims will be perfect and make sure you get them with matching tyres.

    Or hassle all the MK1, MK2 and MK3 owners in Melbourne if you only want to borrow them for rego.

    Cheers

    I can provide if the swap falls through. They're the same wheels that got me through rego and roadworthy
