This fresh looking Golf MK4 was spotted at the recent Westside Show in the UK. You see a lot of rims that come from higher end cars ending up on cars in the VW community. This time the owner of this Golf got himself a set of wheels from the Porsche Turbo. It just shows that a design that has been made exclusively for a Porsche also works wonders on other cars.

awesome car. but why would you call it a 4th generation porsche when it's clearly not? so if it was a civic on porsche wheels you would call it  "eg6 porsche" that doesn't make sense....

Agree with above comment. Seems like hatchbacks have become the focus of Random Snap lately.

LOL!  So they only sell two kinds of wheels over there, Rotas, and whatever original equipment wheel that they replaced with Rotas.  But I want to see the Rotaghini before the Rotache.

The current owner uses it as a daily driver, very nice clean car, saw it a couple of weeks back at my local VW meet.

ever see 997tt wheels on a touareg? they're not real OEMs since they're bigger, but they're very identical and look amazing.

EA Sports started this site as a way to promote and deliver more information about the cars featured in their games.  It has strayed far from that.  A few games have Rotawagens as the joke cars, but those are appreciated only by the narrow subgroup of people who own those cars, and used only by groups of drunk and/or stoned gamers, late on a weekend nights, for one mark jalopy races.

Fire joren. I'm sick of these reposts. Get out of your house and snap some original content. I can't believe u get paid to copy and paste pics that we've all seen before. At least give us some information that we can't see from the pics like custom interior or engine work. Do all your posts have to be random snapshots? Write a fucking article already.

So much hate on this site.  This is a nice clean car. I dont have time to search the internet all day and night like some of you haters, so who cares if they repost a pic. I would have never seen it.  I do agree with the fact that some of these random snaps should be features b/c they leave me wanting more.  

BTW those wheels look better on the VW than they did on the Porche imho.

And *POOF*, it's a Porsche!....not really, but it's got Porsche wheels!  This is the very definition of rice, just with a Euro-trash twist to it.
