ah okay, never messed with the rear beam before other than just putting in some of the mason tech plates to re-center the axle lol...wow what a throwback that is

[GTIKole.]

Just to add to my future mk3 knowledge incase matt or chad talk me into finally getting another one, does the mk2 beam bolt right up? or is that only for a 4 lug ?

I hope Matty and Chad both talk you into buying another one.
It bolts right up on a mk3, brakes and all. I just know you have to watch depending if you have abs or not. In my case I need one that has a mounting point for the proportioning valve since I'm non abs.

This is all speculation. But im hoping they are 3 piece bottle caps.

I sincerely hope your speculation is correct.

Sadly they are not bottle caps.
I will tell you the specs until this evening.
Front- 16x8.5 et24 (with 2.5" lips)
Rear- 16x9.5 et12 (with 3.5" lips)

Test fit looks promising, can't wait to see what the wheels are!

Is the mk2 rear beam a little narrower?

Yep I think about 10-12mm narrower. So it will pull the wheel in about 5-6mm per side. Going to see what a little bit more camber places it at before I go to the mk2 beam.

looks like compmotives or th lines to me...if they are th lines and I have a cool secret for you if the lips are the same as were on my modern lines I had once.

We'll two of my new wheel showed up yesterday, the other two will be here today. I test fitted the rears. I do like the look now but I think with either another degree of camber or a mk2 rear beam I would set.

Once the other two show up today I'll test fit all them and take some nice pictures of it all together. Then you guys can see the wheels and not wait anymore
Also finished up the lady's Mini last night after battling with broken and rusted on bolts. Sitting about 2-3" lower now. She loves it.
