a rookie who is confused

[dylan8]

Appreciate the reply ^

Here’s something I am looking at

Package Number - B006
Wheel - SM03
Size - 17x7.0
Color - Machined Face, Black
Package Price - $CALL
What Do I Get With The Package? In All Tempe Tyres Packages You Will Receive 4 New Wheels, 4 New Tyres, Nuts, Fitting and Balancing.

if you get those or new wheels from a shop, see what options they will give you in regards to offsets.
when i got wheels from tempe the offset turned out to be the wrong one later down the track and caused me massive headaches

gave tempe a call considering i was hoping that those 4 stud rims would fit, the dude said straight away that they won't fit a mk3 golf.

might play it safe for now considering i am new to car projects and just keep an eye out for a someone selling 17's with specs of 4x100

not sure if anyone has heard of rustoleum paint jobs before but i am planning on painting the car black or white over the next few weeks, they also have rustoleum wheel spray paint which i will look at if buying old cheap 2nd rims


anyone ever performed a rustoleum paint job before? there's tones of videos on youtube which has inspired me to give it a go

after years of denial i've come to realise that 16's are the best suited for the mk3 platform, 17's and 15's can be pulled off well but you have to be low and that effs up daily duties....

people are getting nice results from that rustoleum but the I'm dubious as to how long it'll last under our Aussie sun.... Do it and let us know :p

Amen, mine's looking clown car/hot wheels racer esque with the jumbo bling 17s.

16s are the happy medium, but maybe this is me just becoming old and boring.

feel free to post them back to VIC bro, ill look after them...

I am in the same boat as you, not many good rims sets in 4x100 and 16". 16" seems to the the rarest wheels out there, not many places make or stock 16" wheels or tyres anymore... best bet to go to 17" but that might scrub out a bit.
My offest in ET35 in 16"
Gumtree / ebay / vwwatercooled is your best bet, i've been looking for over a year and nothing......

[doomsday1071]

^ wow...i've been searching ebay/Gumtree for 2 weeks day and night and havent found anything.

Moving to the gold coast this weekend, think ill wait till i've moved a pay a few garages a visit - see what i can find.

If anyone has or knows of any 17" for sale message me first before this guy!!^^ haha just kidding pal
