robadobadob 0 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Ive got a standard Mk3 leather airbag wheel in my Vr6 and its falling apart so was wondering what my options are?Will a mk4 wheel fit straight on or is the mk3 wheel the only option?Cheers in advance.

russj249 2 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Mk4 will not fit.. I'm guessing you like the look of the mk4 gti 3 spoke wheel.. unfortunately, they dont fit.However, the exact same wheel is in the mk3.5 convertibles with a mk3 fitment.. bad thing is they cost a fortune!

russj249 2 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 If its a track car, would you not be best with an aftermarket momo type wheel? All you would need is the boss, and the wheel.Then come mot time, just put the standard one back on so the airbag light isn't on. Link to post Share on other sites
