My sorta new mk3

[LankyVW]

I feel like from what ive researched, the steels wont fit nice n flush and instead be 4x4 ?

If you're looking at the 15 or 16x8 at et20 it'll be spot on, check Surfpig's old vento if you haven't already.

sweet thread mate, look forward to seeing what rims you tuck in there!

thanks leigh! im dying for a new set of wheels so im eager to see what i can get my hands on btw lanky you still got that fender roller? if you do id be keen to hire it for a day

Went down to inverse tyres and had some test fits (15x8 with et 0) rears sat nice although fronts were just half poking out even with me leaving my spacers all in (20 rear and 10 front) so he'll give dynamic wheels a call on monday morning to see if they can get me a set of +20 so that they sit more under the fender!

Mate, my RS's will be 15x8 et0 all round. Is the poke good on the front (I want a fair bit haha)?

I won't be able to test fit until the wheels are finished, which should be the 31st of Jan

Et0 at the front is so mexican you will be eating taco's for the rest of your life!

#mmm

:S thats just how they're being built. went for 2" lips all round with 5.5" barrels + .5" faces and that changed the offset to et0, I'm pretty sure. anyway, lets hope it doesn't look tooooooo bad

[junyip_69]

Ahahhah mannnnn I had 10mm spacers aswell so you should be right

Peoples thoughts on a vr conversion? Bloke at volkwerke has one with gearbox, brakes etc and from what i can remenber qouted me 1000 for it all. 130k clocked on engine but just fearing its not worth it money wise with everyone saying you might aswell buy a stock vr6...

[HaydEn]

$1000 for the conversion? Or just the parts?

If you have some sentimental value with the car; got the conversion path, if not, buy a vr.
