So I found some nearly new 18x8 ET40 TSW Donington wheels locally for a great price (he's willing to give me all 4 wheels for the price he paid for one of them - just wants to be rid of them). Unfortunately they are a 5x114 bolt pattern. But I wanted to ask for some advice before purchasing:
1) I can't use adapters due to the offset so I was thinking about using wobble bolts. Anyone have experience with these? I don't track the car but do drive "spirited" from time to time.
2) According to willtheyfit.com I will have 15 mm extra poke compared to my Austins. Is this too much? I wanted flush but don't want them to stick out past the fenders. My research suggests the back will be OK and the front will be pretty much flush.
3) Anyone have any pictures of these wheels on a mk7 GTI? I asked Google but didn't find much.
4) Any idea how much the wheels weigh? Couldn't find any spec sheets but one website said they were around 20 lbs.
Thanks!
