Title: Anybody fitted the Scirocco wheels?
Post by: Sharman on March 31, 2009, 05:08:14 pm: Thinking about fitting the "Turbine" look wheels(think they're called Interlagos). Just wondered what they'd look like on a black GTI and would they fit? If anyones' got them, can you post a pic please?

Post by: RedRobin on April 01, 2009, 04:37:46 pm: ....

Personally I prefer this 'twisted spoke' version as it looks more dynamic and will look more attractive in motion. They suit the GTI very well.

Would look even better on a Mk5 .:R32 as their stock alloys are a cr@p design imo.

Post by: Sharman on April 02, 2009, 02:12:24 am: I guess the scirocco wheels get the thumbs up then on a GTI! Just never seen them fitted in the flesh. Thought it'd be a bit different to the usual Monza's and BBS CH's that you see.

Post by: Sharman on April 02, 2009, 01:13:29 pm: I first saw the wheels on pistonheads, when they first went on. He's since placed them on ebay, so now everyone knows about them :sad: Not sure that they'll fit perfect though, due to offsets etc
Title: Re: Anybody fitted the Scirocco wheels?
Post by: TurboTrev on April 02, 2009, 04:15:25 pm: If I remember rightly they are 8x18, ET41 with 235(not 225)/40x18 tyres.
Title: Re: Anybody fitted the Scirocco wheels?
Post by: flywalker on April 02, 2009, 06:07:21 pm: From memory the gti offset is et51 so scirocco s wheels will fill out the arches by 10mm .
Title: Re: Anybody fitted the Scirocco wheels?
Post by: Raffe on November 21, 2010, 08:22:42 am: So from reading this thread with about a 40mm drop and 225/40 R18 tyres they would fill the arches nicely and shouldn't cause any issues? :smiley:

I had these alloys on my GTI, with a 30 mm drop ,and 235 wheels they rubbed on bumps, and was told that 225 tyres would not stop this problem.
