    13's are tiny for a mk3! Even on the little mk1's they look small. Must admit in those test fit photos they look kinda cool in a different kind of way, will be hard to pull off though.

    Ebay has heaps of cheap hub/wheelcentric spacers. I have a set of 5x100 ones coming so I can let you know where I got them from and what I think of the quality when I get them in the next couple of days if you like. Adaptec will custom make them to the exact centrebore of the wheel if you want to pay a little more and maybe wait a little while, wouldn't need to run the rings then.

    If you're going to be spending money on buying those wheels, spacers, bolts and maybe tyres etc you may be better off looking for something that fits a bit nicer. If they're yours or you're getting them for free or really love the style or something, then thats a different matter and it could be worth it.

    are you sure they actually fit on?? or are you sure they're actually 13's and not 14s?

    becareful of pushing a really skinny wheel really far out, doesn't always look good

    Be careful with these wheels and buying extended bolts for them because you need special bolts that are "hole-centric"... not many shops stock them because wheels aren't designed like that any more.....I had these same wheels on my "hectiva" so If you're set on running these then I can maybe sell you the bolts I ran.........

    and I'll quote Jarred....

    I wasn't getting the wheels for free, tyres were shot too. So I was about to pay a bit of a premium price. Not any more, decided against it guys, costs are just adding up. I just want some cheap wheels with legal tread now, the ones on the car are almost out and I don't want the pepperpots any more.
    Currently bidding on a set of wheels on e-bay, very similar specs to the current wheels, but have good tread on it and look a fair bit better than the 5 spokes I've got on now.

    Cheers for the help.
    Much appreciated!

    13's on a mk3, I never thought I'd see it lol
    For future reference: Spacers and longer lug bolts go to Wheel Adapters, Lug Nuts, Lug Bolts, Wheel Spacers ...cheap, fast shipping for a US site. Hub rings in all sizes are on ebay. I got mine from this seller eBay My World - accentre2005

    I agree, it is hard to find CHEAP NICE 4x100 wheels.
    Good luck with the bidding!

    if you like small wheels on a mk3 i would go with 14" bbs rs's with a big lip and stretched tyres that would look awesome but you would have to dump your car maybe bags like "thestu" and " BenJ".

    or if you want to keep them spend the money on camber bolts + guard rolling/pulling+ new tyres + spacers etc (IMOO)
