Wheel / axle question

Postby doughythevanman » Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:37 pm

Hi Guys!
The problem i have is the mkIV smiley i have recently bought has 6 stud axle/ hubs and i wanted to look into fitting a set of alloys in the near future. Would i be better sourcing 2 x 5 stud hubs and an axle or is there some type of adaptor i can maybe bolt onto my present hubs. OR is there a set of 6 stud alloys knocking about what i have missed???

Help please!!! :cry:

axle and hub swap is the only sensible option
