    That will go great with your new Mk1 project if you can get them under the guards...

    ive hit my first speedbump, the PCD overlaps the new holes ill be drilling, so that means ill have to weldup the holes and redrill a fresh new set, im spewin in a way for the 5x112 blokes who can run wobble bolts, but screw em hahhahaha!

    some pics, the hole overlaps like 2mm on 2 holes OR 1/3rd of 1 hole







    and ive marked out the the existing holes are and if they are close to the new holes, the black dots show the the PCD overlapping 1 hole, and the silver dots show the 2 overlapping holes

    looks like ive got plenty of meat for the other new holes

    I had a set of these too, but in 4x100 16x7 ET35 which I sold a while ago, now on a MK2 somewhere! Regret selling them now

    Wicked looking wheel and not ones you see very often.

    Don't weld them just insert them. You don't want to have to weld them and then stress relieve them. That's just a PITA.
