me and my mk3

[HaydEn]

Yeah. 20 minute drive. When I saw them they were at $120 and i nearly got them cause they were a set of Simmons for that price.

If you don't mind telling how much did they end up going for?

Maybe they weren't the same ones. I saw them for $100 with 0 bids. I was a bit sneaky (cause I'm sick of being outbid) I sent the guy a message offering $375 if he removed them and he agreed. They still had a few days left. After looking them up though the same wheels (Simmons b45) go for some ridiculous amounts. I've seen sets advertised in 15x8 and 15x11 or something for falcons asking $3,300 don't know if they'll ever get that but it made me happy with what I paid. It seems the going rate for them is around $900-$1200 I think?

I'm sure they are the same ones. Cause I have never seen them in 5x100 before and they were in mainland.

Should have made your Newcastle presence more known I've never seen another vr6 in person haha.

That's why I jumped on them. I was struggling to find anything I like in 5x100 that I could afford.

Was kind of a late notice rushed thing. Will let you know next time I'm headed up there although it's not very often. I've only ever seen 2 on the coast and one was LPG converted so that was different.

I love simmons wheels, never seen them on a mk3 though so im looking forward to this one

Tried fitting the wheels today just to see what happened. Due to the design not the spoke but the nuts around the outside hit the caliper and I couldn't even try getting the wheel face onto the hub to see the difference in centre bore so definitely going to need spacers. The mounting face is pretty much in line with the bolts and on the car the caliper pokes more than the hub so that's the issue. Also slightly worried they're the Alfa 5x98 pcd instead of 5x100. I guess we'll see what happens. Pics to help try explain what I mean.





If I'd known all this I probably would've bought something else and ran adapters but oh well. I have these now so hopefully I can make them fit!

[anthony--t]

They're 15x7 and I think et36 so if anyone has suggestions for what width spacer to get them fitting nice feel free to post them up!

[HaydEn]

5x98? That is some gay **** right there.

I'd go for 15/20mm adapter/spacer for some niceness.

[anthony--t]

I measured them and I think they're 5x100 but I did see a set that 5x98 so it makes me wonder. Pretty sure they're 5x100 though. Yeah I was thinking maybe 20mm but after more measuring I'm not sure 20mm will be enough :/

More pics to show much much the nuts stick out compared to face
