Re: My 91 GTI 8V

So i saw a set of original BBS 15x7 4x100 up on kijiji today and decided it was the perfect set of wheels for the GTI, they're not in perfect condition have some minor rash and scratches but i plan on restoring them, also will need the center wheel caps which i found on ebay but they seem to be more than what i paid for the wheels. If anyone has a set of 4 or knows of a good cheap place to get them let me know, im picking up tires this week and hopefully get them on the car by the end of the weekend

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

So i picked up a set of federals from Concept 1 165/45/15 got them mounted up yesterday got em home and threw them on the car, also lowered the front coils down as they had no problem but the rears were seized up pretty good so thats going to have to wait. I picked up some new door handles from ECS the chinese pull style aswell, the GTI is running super bad for the past while so its not being driven and is going into the shop this week but for now some pictures of the new setup.




The wheel setup isnt as aggresive as i was hoping for so i picked up some 20MM spacers today and picking up new lug nuts on monday when Concept 1 restocks and the plan is to paint the wheels

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

I love the wheels but the stance is pretty weird here....

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

Do tell what is so weird I'm so interested to hear your opinion on my car

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

The tires are a little too small for the wheel wells, you need to go lower. Tuck em.

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

That's the plan but as I stated my rears were completely seized

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

Try soaking them in gasket remover or gasoline... Works great.

...Those didn't come from a guy named Jon did they..?

Good choice of mortar by the way... I used to rep Mapai Though if you're spreading on a already level subfloor of proper thickness (1 1/4 inches) then I would be using an ultraflex based on thickness of tile and size, to reduce cracking due to lack of flex.

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

I haven't painted the wheels yet, and no not a guy named Jon. It's for a bathroom floor just a small patch

Re: My 91 GTI 8V

Look good will. We will have to see about unseizing your coils sometime. I never heard the gasoline thing before.
