Mk3 + Porsche Rims?

[gpk_gti]

ray,most of those pics you have posted are 16" ??? look like it!

Hawk I had 215 on my whees,

17 x 9 will not fit on a mk3 .... you will have issues even with stretched rubber... all the mk3's in the rieger catalogue with fat fitments only go up to 16" wide... correct me if im wrong steve

Nah you got a point there 16s, but you can get awy with 17s as ray said, with the second pair for sale with rolled guards not pulled and a nice stretch nothing rediclulous, you can get away with it!

Actually they're 15", sorry! It was just to show Aaron how much they will poke out. So what George was saying was right... 17x9's would be a bloody pain to fit, unless you want to go through the trouble (and MONEY!) to pull your fenders.

Edit: My bad I wasn't paying much attention to diameter!

pull??? more like tub! woohooooooo !! would look awesome tho!

but def no chance of "standard fitment rubber......

No chance at that you will need stretched tyres and rolled guards but I don't think that they will need to be pulled.

Aaron how low are you planning on having the coilovers set at?

Does your car have arch trims?

Haha yeah, never going to happen... best bet would be to look for two pairs of the 7.5" if you want to stick with little/no stretch.

What happens with the rolling diameter change? How bad will it be with 17's as opposed to the 15's right now?

My 16" running 205/45R16 put the speedo almost 100% perfect. With 215/40R17 it's supposedly damn close to the same (or so I'm told).

Yeah, I keep thinking I should try to get a 7.5" all round, damn shame they don't make those wheels in 16"

If nothing else I'm happy to see that I can find a number of sets round the AU$1,000 mark (+ shipping of course). I'm not in a big rush to get them. Until I find something else, they are THE WHEEL I keep coming back to. I just want them.

you can get those wheels in 16"...seen them somewhere...they are copies tho.

I can live with that. There is a line between a quality original product and decent replacement, as long as it's a half decent construction I'm there with bells on.

If anyone happens to know who make replica's, let me know and I'll look into it.
