As the topic title states.

I'm guessing mk2 Golf / Jetta & obviously the Polo's aswell.

Just toying with an idea of trying to get a set of 4 from a scrappy and put some better tyres on those rather than try and upgrade the current tyres on my 4.5J rims :oops:

Cheers.

Polo GT's come with 13x5.5's, I'd imagine Jetta/Golf's would come with 14" wheels cause there alot bigger..

there's a set on Ebay off a mk4 1.6 right now. with tyres as well. bidding was at £10 when I saw it earlier today, they were in nottingham.

EDIT - sorry, I just searched on ebay to find you the auction & it would appear it's already finished. :cry: must've finished some time this evening.

But they do appear every now & then on ebay. later mk4 Polo steels you want to look for. I've got a set in my living room (2 of them currently serve as my Christmas tree stand) but they will be going on my G40.

if you get a set from the (larger engined of the) mk4s, you also get proper several-layers-and-laquered silver painted wheels and nice centre caps for your trouble.

when removed from the usual environs of a mk4 and with a little dirt on, you can imagine they're audi wheels instead :D

(i got some, but they were off a 1.0 / 1.3 so only 4.5J)
