rsty 0 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Having just bought a vr6 i have decided to return it to standard including the wheels. I have looked all over for an original photo to confirm which is the correct style, the following two look very similar and both are for sale on ebay as "original" vr6 wheels. Could anyone tell me if either or both of these are the correct wheels?'>Wheel 1'>Wheel 2Another discrepency i have found between wheels is the tyre size, 195 or 205 can anyone clarify this point as well?ThanksRichard Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 2nd set are the ones from the VR. Standard size tyre is 205/50 15s Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Depends on the age of the car. Wheel 1 was on the earliest Golfs before the swapped to wheel 2. Not sure when the swap came but I guess 1993/4.Both width of tyres will fit on the wheels. 205 is standard for the VR6. The GTi gives pressures for both in the manual.

rsty 0 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 thanks guys car is a p reg 97 so to sumise they should be wheel 2 and either tyre size Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 yep wheel two. You'll want 205 for a VR. ( might be down to load bearing ) Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Also depends as well if the car is a Highline model? Link to post Share on other sites
