    Question steelies!

    So people, maybe a silly question but . . . Whats the go with bigger wider steelies? How do you go about getting them or modifying originals?! I have no idea, all I know is that I've seen a picture of a mk3 with dished steelies and it looked the ducks nuts!

    Original centres with wider barrels. Set your own offset. I've thought of having sets made but I'm not convinced people would pay $1200. Would you?

    MK4 Golfs/Beetles have 16inch Steels std in a lot of markets, 5 stud though.
    A mate of mine in the UK used some old Weller 8 spokes and std 13inch mk1 wheels to create the wide look.

    He split both set up and welded the VW centres into the Weller rims. He made a good job of it. They don't wobble and are balanced prefectly.

    The red VW is a Mk II Golf, so could they be Mk II wheels?
