Let me know what you think

 

[GTIR1000]

loving the banded steels

 

[Georges Dad]

Looks great on those steelies, I know it's a VW thing but I like it

 

[GTIR1000]

thats probably why i like it as i have vw's as well as the R lol, i think it s a good mix bit of euro and jap. I have alkways wondered what a pulsar would look like on banded steels

 

[mtet1101]

Looks cool man what widths you running on the rears?

I know it's a VW thing but I like it

[Garef]

Kinda like the colour, just not the style of wheel.

[GTIR1000]

look on edition 38 and vw forums loads of banded steels for sale on there

 

[thehybridsnail]

will vw wheels fit the pulsar??

 

[PobodY]

will vw wheels fit the pulsar??

As long as you get them with a big enough centre bore, yes. Most of the 4-stud VWs are 4x100, but the centre bore is about 2mm too small for a Pulsar (it's 57.1mm, and the Pulsar is 59.1mm) - that usually means that after-market wheels with spigot rings will fit... but things like hubcentric spacers won't.
Obviously the offset on the rim isn't an issue because that's likely what you're playing with for the Euro look, but it's worth considering the spacers.

Personally I prefer to keep the Pulsar JDM.

 

[thehybridsnail]

i agree with the jdm comment as im more a sleeper look type of guy, i jus fancy having a play with the look

There are already enough people who seem to think this is just a Golf with a body kit on it... even those "like a Golf" adds featured a GTi-R engine in them (notice them crowding around and saying "double overhead cams... just like a golf"?).
