    MK IV R32 Wheels

    Long shot i know, but anyone have some up for grabs?
    if not, how much would you expect me to pay for a decent set if some ever did become available?

    thanks

    I'm also now looking at 17's as an alternative, stock looking ones, like some BBS or even the bora 17's

    thanks heaps gareth

    that wheel and tyre package from tempe is tempting... i've emailed them to ask what tyres they come with so i can work out how much i am basically paying for the wheels...

    and doing the ebay thing from the UK, 275pount is about AU$460
    then 190 pound = AI$320, so $780 total...
    so about $700 more, but no tyres.

    i'm thinking probably the best bet is to go with Tempe tyres then depending what they put on.
    Can anyone vouch for their quality and appearance?

    It'd be fine to keep my stock GTI brakes with these wheels yeah?? i.e. it won't look silly or wheels too heavy?

    cheers

    I will have a set of Siatas for sale soon. Mk4 PCD and offset is compatible.



    Some people like them, some don't. I won't take offence if you dont.

    there is a mk4 parked near me during the day with them on, might be able to snap a photo if you like.

    i did a google search to see what they looked like cos your image didn't load for me the first time.
    anyway i found a thread on here with them on a polo and thought they looked pretty good, then realised it was your polo, haha.
    To me I don't think they'd suit the golf as well though, but thanks anyway.
    might be usefull to take that pic for when you do sell em though.

    cheers... not a bad option, could be a bit of effort to get people to post wheels though, would be awesome if that parcel forwarding thing also picked up your wheels...!

    No problems, for OEM looking I think they are great, but they are not the toughest looking wheels around...

    here is a guide of some suitable vw wheels
