A chap over on the MSC wants to buy and import a set for his K11, an ambition full of win imho. Unfortunately he is having trouble finding any in 4x100, he's found lots in 4x114.3 of course. I'm sure they must exist because I've seen pics of 4x100 cars with them. Racer86's MX5 for instance. There's also a supercharged K11 with 'em. If he can only find some he wants in 4x114.3 are they likely to plug and redrill to 4x100 easily enough. I've only ever seen them from the front, the spokes are nice and flat so that shouldn't be a problem, I just wondered if there were likely to be any cut outs on the rear of the spokes that might cause a problem. Even if you cant help with the technical, I bet you can find some pictures of cool cars rolling Mk2's.......

I WANT THEM WHEELS SOOOO BADLY!!!! as for finding them, i think your best bet is to get on an import site like rinkya.com/ and I think they can find them for you aswell.

Hey all, havent been on in a while! Thank to Mark for making the thread and asking the question. Hes also given me info on Jesse Streeter (I think thats his full name) who's going to help me out on importing the rims! Once they arrive to my front door I will likely be back with questions on making them fit and refurbing!
Luckily the rims Ive found are 4x100 14", but it all depends on wether or not I win the auction, the rest seem to be bloody 114.3!
Thanks all for your help. Joe.
