Looking to swap a pair of 8x17 RH replica cup twists for a pair of 7x17 cups.I need 7s to fit under the front of the 03.I'd also consider a complete swap of my 8s for a set of 7s.They are chromies and have a few scratches and dings but are good condition overall.

Johnny, I have a single 7Jx17 Boxster cup wheel like that if it's any use to you. Or you could take a lend of it to check the fitment while you wait for a set to pop up.

Johnny, do you know if these wheels would fit a T25?
I might be interested in them, But I have no 7s to swap.

If you find the wheels your after, give me a shout, I might take these ones off your hands.

They came off a T4,but I don't know if they fit T25s maybe someone knows,They have an et55 in porsche 5x130 pcd.

All irrelevent at the mo as they aren't actually for sale unless someone comes up with a cheapy set of 7s.

I'll keep you in mind if I decide to flog them.

You don't happen to have a pair of 7" or 8" wide 16" Fuchs knocking around there Padraig do you? My bug has 6" (I think) all around and it's a bit one dimensional looking for me. Would love 15"s all around but current a/c says "NO".

Sorry for the hijack!

Have one 7" and one 8" in 16"s, they would really give a 3d effect to your bug..! Have plenty of 15"s in all sizes, should probably start a thread for them as starting to get a bit out of hand...

you would need adapters to fit porsche wheels to a T25 and a T4 for that matter
T25 pcd is 5x112 and the porsche pcd is 5x130
