    Porsche 924 14"x6" 4x100mm not sure about offset.

    Corolla and other 4x100mm Asian wheels don't fit 'cos the hole in the centre is too small to fit over the boss on the disc. (I tried a few at a tyre dealer).

    4x100mm ROH mag wheels to suit Asian cars do fit though 'cos they made the centre hole big enough to fit anything.

    Likewise I imagine any of those ridiculously low profile rim/tyre setups would work, a lot of those have dual PCDs (two sets of holes). Look pretty cool but I think if you actually drive the car hard you're better off with some sidewall!

    Sod the Gemini Wheels Mate
    I sold a set of Mk3 steels to a desperado with a gemini last week, same offset and obviously the Golf ones are nicer.

    Cheapest option in Oz is Honda Integra, Civic or Prelude 4 stud mags.
    Same stud pattern and offset. Lots of discarded 15" sets in the paper and at tyre places, as all the ricers upgrade. I paid 200notes for 4 15" x 6 5 spoke mags, with tyres. Not a slick as Ronals, but at for what I paid, i`m well happy. See them in my Avatar if you look close.

    Brackie, are you sure BMW 318 wheels fit with no mods? I think the centre hole is a different size.
