    Going on a MKIII?

    What are the specs? I see 15x8 I believe.

    If your car is white, I'd do white faces with gold bolts.

    Looking good so far.

    Yea there going to be going on my mk3. Cant wait to get them on and get the stance right. Kinda goin for that bulldog look.

    And the specs are 16x9 et 38 all around I know im going to have some poke, but Im a fan of poke so thats fine with me. All my fenders are rolled flat so im sure with a small amount of camber up front ill be fine.

    I was thinking white faces and gold bolts but there has been a few mk3's with white faces on these wheels so im trying to think of something different that will look but still

    Appreciate the positive feedback

    Im not too happy with how the first lip came out so I may take it back down and repolish it.

    For now im starting on these want to keep the retro kind of look so im going to repaint the oem bolts. Going for a set a day dont really need to finish the wheels in a rush so I can take my time to make them mint.

    Got some rs bolts today gonna see what i can do to refinish them.

    Also wasnt happy with the shine of the first wheels so i took it all the way down and went back up to 2500 this time an used a different polish

    Not bad for doing it all by hand once i hit it with the buffer it will be like a mirror for sure.


    Still trying to decide what color the centers are going to be.
