Aww awesome.

thanx alot for your fast reply mate :-)

You may require different wheels bolts though. I know you do if you put them on a mk3.

are the bolts that will probably come with it be a shorter thread because its come off a mk1 golf?

or do you mean i need some like new crome alloy bolts off ebay sort of thing?

why have they got audi centre caps? be carefull that there arent 4x108 audi fitment

if they are going onto a polo 6N then the wheel bolts WILL need to be longer than 6N standard.

if you have the bolts that held them onto the Golf Mk1 then they SHOULD be ok, check by holding them up to a standard 6N bolt.. should be about 1cm longer at least.

some bolts off a Mk2 Golf might be ok as BBS RA's came as standard on some I believe.

you will probs be best off buying a set, try eBay for some new ones or seeing if anyone on here has a set.

do NOT get them from halfords, i learnt this the hard way..

Well he says that they are just center caps and it will fit my car.

and told me to come down n try them on before i buy, which is good.

does anyone have any idea what sort of tire profile will look good, i want a low profile on them.

they come with 185/60/14 tyres on them.

I'm gonna have to check out those bolts though.

(thumbs up)

dunno about ford, but you can deffo get then in audi 4x108 pcd (but i think the centre bore is different on audis, when compared with fords)

audi also used 4x100 pcd on some of their models, so this could be why they have audi badges on them

The MK2 Golf usually had 15" BBS RA. They use the same bolts as the 13" BBS RA fitted to Polo G40s (same as any Mk3 Polo bolts). The 14" ones were optional extras and have a 5mm thicker mounting face so you need a suitably longer bolt. However if the bolts are too long and you have drum brakes they can foul on the brake parts inside the drum.

mk2 golfs usually had 14" RA's iirc? wasn't the 15" RA from the G60 corrado?

nope, my gti has 15's that came standard with the car.

long bolts theory is correct, late mk2 16v golfs had 15" RAs.

if they came of a mk1 golf how can they be 4x108 mk1 golfs are 4x100 tyres will be slightly wrong size check TYRE BiBlES web site page 2 should be 185/55/14 for 6n polo

as for making them in FORD fitment ford also use 4x100 as do vauxhall these look like vauxhall wheels but so long as the offset is right it dosnt make any bdifference

^ None of the modern Fords run on 4x100...and the Cortina,Escort and the

older other older Fords are 4x108.I don't know where you got the information

from about them but it's wrong mate.

Yep the old Ford 4 studs are 4 x 108 like the old Audis. Both Ford and Vauxhall in the 90's made BBS style replicas which you sometimes see on mk3 fezzas and Novas. Those look more like the Ford version to me.

and vauxhauls aint 4x100 in fact not even close to it like 4x108 or anything i dont think, they are bigger. nova spare has a much bigger PCD than a VW one i know that through a series of unfortunate events

Those look the same as my new alloys :)

Just jumping on this year old thread to tell you that you are wrong. Very wrong indeed.
