GTa wheels on GTI

Post by veroli »

Hello all,
I have a couple of questions.

I own a metro GTI which i mainly run on the 7 spoke wheels. I also have some of the Lattice wheels and ground off the calipers a bit so they fit comfortable over
the GTI brakes even with new pads. Now the Lattice wheels are about 1kilo lighter than the 7 spokes.
I noticed the GTa come with 5 spoke wheels and wondered whether they are any lighter than the lattice and would they fit over the GTi brakes. I dont really want to take any more off the calipers.
I know the 6 spokes would now fit are they lighter than the lattice. I dont have access to any 6 or 5 spokes to check this for myself

thanks

The GTa 5 spoke wheels will fit over the Gti front brakes with no modifications.
I can’t comment on the weight difference though.

Rover metro 1.8T 12.7 @ 113mph
