Solitude wheels

Do you only get these in one size?

 

The ones I have seen are 5 stud, would they only be suitable for a COrrado VR6 or could they also go onto a MK3 95, Golf GTI?

 

If so, anyone seen them on before, do they look good or more out of place.

 

How much would a second hand set be worth in fairly good condition

Not sure, heres a set of highline alloys on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-V ... dZViewItem

Fitted to the corrado storm and golf MKIII Highlines, (and colour concept?) as standard. they are 15"Diameter by 6.5"Width. if your GTi is 5 stud they will fit fine.

As for cost depends on condition and tyres ect anything from £100-£250 I would guess.

You can get Solitudes in 4-stud too- I'm pretty sure some MK3 Cabs had them.

Yup you can get Solitudes on mkIII cabriolets and 6N Polo's in 4 x 100 PCD, they are 6J x 15" (may be 6.5J ?).

 

Also the ones fitted to Golf Colour Concepts, Highlines and latterly the South African built 98 MY Golf GTI's were 5 x 100 PCD, 6.5J x15".

 

Nice light wheel, a bit lighter than the BBS lattice type wheels found on post '96 MY VR6's and more importantly easier to clean too!

 

There's a guy in Bedford breaking a few mkIII GTI's on eBay, I bought the better set of Solitudes off him for £50, Pristine are currently refurbishing them at a cost of £250 because they have to repair some kerb rash.

 

You can probably get a decent set with minor corrosion for less than £150 with shabby tyres.

 

Have a look on Autotrader for late model mkIII GTI's and you'll see what they look like.

Some 4 studs went on eBay the other day

So the Corrado VR6 solitude and the Golf ones are different but interchangeable?
