Title: Steel 17" wheels for an ED30?
Post by: Jgoodwood on September 02, 2012, 10:13:17 pm

Hi,

Am collecting my new (to me) ED30 on Tuesday.. As I live in the sticks, and we usually get snow, I always run winter tyres on my cars.. Not fussed about how it looks in the winter and wondered if there are any steel wheels available for the Mk5 GTi?

Hope you can help...

Think your better off with some alloys, dont think they do 17s in steels

Also OEM 16" steels fit over 312mm brakes and the tyres are much cheaper in 205/55/16.

Plus if our winter follows the same trend as our summer, be expecting 40 degree heat!  :grin: :grin:
