    custom wheels

    Hi there. I'm looking at getting some custom Simmons wheels made for my Mk3.
    What would be the best fitment for a Euro style look, I want 7.5 inch wide on the front and 8.5 inch on the rear by 16 inch? I really would like to know the best set to have.

    I'd say ET35 for the fronts and ET25 for the rears. I'd recommend you roll the guards as well, even if to just be on the safe side...

    I think they would look ace and i doubt anyone has them here.
    Also suits the euro/german theme.

    Simmons would be pretty expensive too wouldn't it? Compomotive makes a similar wheel (TH Mono, check out dubmeister.co.uk or rimstyle.co.uk) so you could probably ask them about the cost of importing them in.

    By Euro-style, are you looking for poke or flush offsets??

    More expensive than custom-made Simmons?
    Nothing to see here...

    each? or for a set?!

    I know simmons were in the middle of going bust recently but that price is nowhere near what ive seen other people pay for wheels from them.
