Yeah, the 140 GT has 288mm brakes, like mine used to, so 15's should fit over. Much cheaper for tyres but unfortunately not an option if you have GTI brakes. Like I do.  :P

Cheers, hmmm less than £100 per corner seems quite a good deal... any idea how much the steelies are on their own (I have a feeling they're around £60 or so)? :happy2:

Cheers! Hmm at least with steelies people would realise they are just winter wheels... I don't think I could put on nasty 16" alloys in place of my Pescara's! :ashamed:

Quick bump, can anyone think of any sensible reason why I can't just use 17" space savers with winter tyres on them?

Out of interest do VW Transporter steelies fit on Mk5's ?

cause i think they can come with 17's which look a bit nicer then your standard steel wheels


just food for thought :)
