Most sites seem to question the legality of them, also insurance companies will frown upon them and may not offer cover anymore. 

Looks like good info that Gary, will have a read tonight - wasn't sure of the safety / legality of them but this should help somewhat

Clem sorry but I'm keeping them for the time being

Hey Guys,

 Anyone know if the below would fit onto a MK4 Golf?!

Cheers

Pat,

You managed to get hold of that picture!?

totally forgot, apologies. I WILL sort it after work

It's a silver Bora with a Golf front on widened Beetle 16" steels, looks well 'ard (although he should have kept the Bora front on)

He should have kept the bora front on, and put a golf back end on!!!!!

why thank you that's good of you cheers!

LomondGolf:

Not sure on the wingmirror removal though.

true, not a mod I'd do never noticed that until you'd pointed it out

I think its more the point you look at it thinking, "Theres something missing there". It just doesn't look right de-wingmirror'd.

On second look, why have they only removed and smoothed the door handles on the right-hand side of the car? Thats totally random! Left hand side still has its handles.

no probs, i've been informed u have fk konigsports fitted... hoping you'll take me for a drive so i can feel what they're like. 

Well personally I wouldn't want my golf to look like that. It is interesting though.

I have no idea why anyone would want to get rid of all but one handle, and I'd feel much better knowing that I can use my wng mirrors!

As I said, Interesting though

Those steelies on the Gora look awesome! a pleasent change, colours etc

How about getting a set of BMW steelies to band the do a 17" by 7.5" although you'd obviously need a set of pcd adapters.

but might look a little better than 16"

just a thought

but they do look sooo good on the gora.

Wish I had the money too.

When I first started to look at modding mine my first question on here was if anyone new of anywhere I could get a set of 17" steelies. no one knew so kept on digging but got mine before I found that bmw did them

Whats the best price you can get for a set of 4 x 16" Beetle steels to be banded from 6.5" - 8" wide??

I would like the way that it's done on the Bora in the pics so that I get a 1" dish too

Cheers

na just want them all one size!! I know it'd prob look betta with wider rears but don't wanna go that route and have hassle with different tyres etc.....

You know what, I had been really looking at buying a set myself, set of 16's in the garage, but you really do need 17's and lower profile tyres to get away with that look on a mk4..... it just doesnt look right, profile is wring at the side of the car, shame cause i love banded rims.

Now to find 17 inch steelies that will fit our motors!!! :<
