wheel type on mk3 golf?

The 98 Golf GL I just bought came with pretty new, mismached no-name tires .. hopefully they'll last me the Winter in snowy arizona. come next summer, i'll probably look to get some alloy wheels and new tires, 15" or 16" .. anyhow, was wondering which type I have to look for - 4 or 5 lug wheels - for my golf; I just have OEM wheel covers so I can't see what I need.

Anyone know which is correct?

Thanks :)

p.s. how you think some thick-spoked gunmetal/black rims would look on a lowered drk green golf

You need five bolt wheels and why dont you take the covers off to check
:lol:

Thnx, that's what I figured they were
.. and i didn't have anything to take them off with :rolleyes:

You need wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern, and 35mm offset.

ok :confused:
now i definately need to take my wheel covers off somehow and check

By all means, do. But I wouldn't bother.

Lol, cool.
I just don't want to end up ordering the wrong wheels because I f*d up :cwm27:
