[rayray086]

I'm putting out an EOI on these wheels:

Too much work needed for me to put these on my Mk3 - might need new adapters on the front, gotta machine down my ball-seat wheel bolts so they don't foul on my brakes (my adapters are too thin), and they're way too high of an offset for the Mk3. I currently have them Opti-sealed and wheel-waxed (was really hoping to get these on :().

They should be a perfect fit on Mk5s, Mk6s, Passats and other Audis - they are genuine Audi TT Mk2 wheels so run a 57.1mm centrebore, 5x112 size. Could even re-use your GTI tyres as they're 17s.

An example on Mk5s:

Looking at offers around $500. Don't hesitate to throw me an offer, Mk3's gonna take a backseat.

Was in a hurry to post this up before I go to work, so left out some important details:

Some very light fine scratches, I assume easily buffed out with a machine polisher.

Worst of the brake dust baked on.

Section of front rim dented in a little, paint flake.

I'm guessing they were caused by the tyre guy removing the tyres before I bought these :( They don't look like signs of gutter rash.

Centre-caps are perfect though.

Either way, they're still good looking wheels.

Agreed very nice wheel...

GL with the sale.

[Justin Fox]

So nice for 17's. Nice detailed pics too you're an honest seller! Free bump!

[rayray086]

Hey Ray, is that Mischa's car?

'Tis. It was his car and Preeny's Caddy that tempted me to give them a go on the Mk3.

I'm gonna be trial fitting the wheels on the front of the Mk3. I'm expecting them to not fit hence the EOI, but on the off-chance they do fit, I'll be keeping them.

[Seph]

Quite interested, do you know what the model of the wheel is called? Trying to find pics online for those wheels on an A3 sportback (what I have) to no avail

[scotty1991]

Drove past mischa's car about 20 mins ago, they look damn good

[rayray086]

Unfortunately I've got no leads for the wheel name. On the audifelgen.de (http://www.audifelgen.de/felgen/17.html) website, it merely states its wheel name as "Scheibenrad silber" which is basically "silver wheel" I think. Part number of the wheels are 8J0 601 025 A 8Z8 if it helps.

[scotty1991]

What size tyres do these wheels take?

[rayray086]

Planning on stretching 195/40's if they don't sell :D

I think Mischa had 225's on them to get that subtle stretch you see in the above pics.

[scotty1991]

I thought 225's were for 7" wide wheels? my 17's are running 225...

[rayray086]

I thought 225's were for 7" wide wheels?

They sure are :) The stretch allows for fitment of these wheels without crazy rubbing. I don't know what a recommended tyre for an 8.5" wide wheel would be... perhaps a 255?

[mikinoz]

I run 225, same as GTI rubber, and gives a nice subtle stretch.

235 would be good for 8.5" wide. Could possibly get away with 245s too!

Love your wheels! I am wondering whether I should start my own build thread to get opinions on painting calipers. I like yours but am considering whether by graphite Jetta would look better or worse with painted calipers. I don't want to rice it excessively. :)

[rayray086]

Found out they will fit on the Mk3 w/ 15mm adapters at the front. Only a few millimetres of clearance from the lower spring perch. They're still for sale though; has a few layers of Optiseal and a coat of Wheel Wax now.

[rayray086]

One more bump.

[rayray086]

Alright I definitely need these gone now :( Best offer.
