Int. Vision wanted on Rimms
 

Hi there..

Since I don't know who to ask, I rather ask you lot..

Here some piccies of my car's rear arches..




I dunno if these will fit (with 165/65 R13) since the arches on a polo steilheck aren't taking to many sizes..

To show you HOW critical these rims are:






The Offset is 33, whereas ET 38 or 43 would be ideal.. (for wider tyres)..
will roll the arch-lips, but not the arches them selve. (which looks like crap on a polo)..

Why do you ask the Int boys? These little bastards were only sold in Europe anyway...??

well our int. forum SHOULD be more then just those lazy US bastards (and an occasional weird cannuck) :p

Cuz it ain't no porsche, and it ain't no BBS or Audi S8 rimms, I figured.. them dutchman's won't like them anywayz :-)

Moeha..

But you seem to know them.. what are they?

SHOULD be yeah

Somebody calling? :)

Anyways, if you get a stiff enough suspension, no travel that is, you should be able to run those wheels :D

It has some travel left right now..

I asked some mates to test it for me (That what a lazy asswhipe I am)..

and here are the results of the jury: to much travel..

Thus: either bumpstops or diff wheels..

Did some polishin on the outerrim of one of them, and it's lookin good! :-)
Will probably color code them to the car,.

Does/has someone figured out what kind of wheels they are? (brand/type?)
They ones where on a Golf GTI 16v, they did need those plastic-center-center-rings
They've got 'MADE IN ENGLAND' stamped in, and some things like ET and stuff, but that's all.
They came with huge 'hub-caps' with a 'bolt' type size enormouse (bbs style), but in the ungly version (and thus got thrown away)

up?!

Is there a problem with rolling the under side of the arch up? I did that for my 16x9s on my Mk2. There was no cutting just a bit of bending the lip under the arch back using a baseball bat and a heat gun. Took me about 2 hours to do both...But that included pulling and reinstalling the G60 Flares. I can't tell from the picture if you can do that but it seems to be possible (mine had a 10mm lip that could be bent up flush with teh under side of the fender)
