What'd you think of these wheels?
« on: November 09, 2013, 04:01:22 pm »
I'm looking for new wheels for my MK5, and I came across these.
My dad had them in silver on his old E-Class and I quite liked them then.
I've emailed the guy asking for the offsets, and I'll probably make him an offer if they don't sell.

Thing is, the MK5 is black, and I'm not sure the white will work.. What does everyone reckon? Anyone have any pictures that say otherwise?

Absolutely love those wheels, I'm sure the pcd is 112 on them wheels. And the white would
Look stunning on a black golf(if your low enough)

Yeah, PCD is 5x112.
I think I'll be low enough, my coils are maxxed out, and I'm pretty damn close to the ground :signLOL:
When my dad had them he told me I could try them out on the Golf, but then a week before I got my coils, he traded the car for an ML, so I don't know how they'll fit :sad1:

EDIT: I did some research, and apparently these wheels are ET35ish all the way round.. Which means that they aren't gunna fit without modifying the arches.

Hahaha thanks for doing that! :grin:
Whether it's the fact that picture isn't real, or just the colour, I don't know, but I'm not liking the white/black there :sick:
If only they were silver and in a decent offset! :sad1:
