Hi the turbo,
once again, a warm welcome to the forum.
I have a set of Momo 17in mags to suit a mk4 Golf. They were on a new beetle. They are 17 x 8 et35. The tyres are 60% worn 245s. I can fit a couple to a customers Golf to show yoy what they look like. Nice looking wheel. Might take me a couple of weeks to get the pics though as I am off to this GTI thing in melbourne. They cost in excess of $3000 a few years ago and my customer wants $1400. Freight might cost a bit too. No pressure mate and I hope in time you get something iut of the forum. Cheers, Andrew Robinson

what you have to look for in the wheels:
- big size = potential big damage due to potholes.
- et or offset for the golf should be 35
- your bolt pattern is 5 hole x 100 PCD
- check that centre bore is correct - if buying from a shop they would probably normally have a spigot? ring that is correct fo the car as 5x100 is same as celica/ camry - but centre bore is different

good luck - and wise advice - make sure you like em or you'll get sick of them!
