I like being silly.

Alright, let's get the ball rolling here again, need more forum activity.

Who's been building what? I want pictures.

I'm tempted to build up my RS' from the Subaru for the Golf.
Up lipped 16" centers to 18".
Probably go spastic with sizes, 9.5" up front, 10.5" up rear.

As for colour, I'm not sure, something about a fully powdercoated matte red with gold accents kills me.

dun b silly.

Seb, if you don't do that I won't be impressed.

3 months later, finally have a square set of C4 wheels. 1 needs a fair bit of sanding them polish and the other 3 could do with a very light sand and polish. Just need to refinish, order adapters and stretch on 2 more tyres aye.

Wobble bolts nah. Offsets need to be spaced out. Yeah had a look at Adaptec, way cheaper than that crowd above.

[dylan8]

anyone used house-hold products to soak nuts/bolts, like vinegar and/or baking soda?

I have stuck to coke in the past, but used vinegar last time on some rs and modena bolts.
Lets just say the bbs bolts don't like it... a lot of the coating came off. Modena bolts ok though as I believe they are just raw finish. Some of the nuts went a bit rusty after though so gave them a good soak in wd40 before reinstall

Wade, talk to Stu, isn't he a dealer for Adaptec over here?

Yep

[Beware]

Plain White vinegar. Coles home brand....$1.09 a bottle.

What about wobble bolts Spados? Or is the offset a bit too high and you need the adapters to bring them out a bit? I agree with Dylan, use Adaptec.
