Steel Wheels

[B3n]

Hey folks

What Steel wheels fit on the MK5 Gti? Obviously MK5 ones do but i imagine they come with alot of scene tax So was just wondering what other non scene models wheels would fit. Im sure ive heard somewhere that T5 transporter wheels would fit.

You could always split them  - weld a band in the mddle making them 9" wide and use some 175/55/15 tyres for that special look.

Suppose it had to happen didn't it

You'd be in the Scene Supertax bracket on a mk5 mate

The split steelies look best on a Mk4 imo. Quite a few do it across the pond in the U S of A.

You've read my mind thats exactly what im planning on doing

Haha no im planning a european road trip during the winter snowboarding and no doubt ill end up on some snow covered mountain roads so i was thinking of getting some steelies for the trip so i can put snow chains on the wheels without worrying about damaging my Monza's.

I got some 16 inch alloys off the bay for winter. You can get a set with summer tyres for a bit more than £100.

Viz the scene tax, Mercedes use 5x112, so some steelies from a C class should work.

For winter tyres, you might be better with 205/55r16 than 17 inchers, as you can fit normal snow chains. You have to get posh chains to fit on 17" or 18".
