They're off a vento, they look pretty pimp! However i've decided my car needs to be a hell of a lot lower now. Heres a couple of pics:

Just a tester wheel, I just need to sort my tyres out etc!

Nice wheels mate! Better looking than G60s (and better suited to the mk3 at that), the extra bit of dish sets them off well.

dude i need these wheels please. they got a part number on 'em?

Cheers Si.

Im not sure of a part number...there will be one somewhere on the wheels im guessing though! But they are 14 x 6 steelies off a VW Vento. So shouldnt be too hard to look up

Nice wheels, but they're off a Mk2 Golf, not a Vento. These were fitted to the late spec Mk2 Driver and GTD, and they're quite hard to find. Most have the earlier type with about twice as many holes.

Vento wheels, for reference, have different shaped holes like the 15" G60 steelies. Similar, but different.

Ah ok, I was just going by what i was told.

Ta for the info

Haha, no worries, just being a hair-splitting car geek, lol!

I've considered a set of these for mine, several times, but never been able to afford to change due to the cost of putting tyres on them.
