Post by DanW »

at last I've found a VW mag... anywhoo, anyone seen the stealth Golf MK3 with standard alloys on it? anyone got any idea if they will fit the Polo MK3 without too much trouble or problems i.e. rolling circumference stuff.


cheers,

Dan


oh and I bought it for the MK3 Polo lowering guide in it....

I may write it up some time
or when I actualy get round to doing it in the summer, when I have money to complete it, because I have to get some new shocks and strut tops.

They aren't standard alloys for the mk3. they are polished audi TT competition alloys.

apart from being 5 stud, they are 7.5" x 17" :shock:
= won't go on a mk3 without mucho arch work :cry:

not sure about smaller versions, i doubt it though!
plus i doubt you could get any adapters that would allow the 5x100 pcd of a mk3 golf to go onto a 4x100 pcd of a mk3 polo :idea:
