Hi guys. Got 16" Audi TT 5 spokes at the mo... nice wheels but the baloon tyres are starting to look a bit too bulbous, I'd love some 18" RS6 5 spokes BUT I think the ride would annoy me, as it's good at the mo (to be expected on 205/55/16 rubber).

So I guess I need to compromise. RS6 copies in 17" look too small, as do the newer RS4 one's I think.

But these TT rims look quite big for 17" Anyone got an idea of price I should be paying with 225/45 tyres which they came with as standard?

Also anyone got pics of MK4's on these wheels? Many thanks :)

Go for 18's, even on an island where each road the camber is out, constant 'S bends' round potholes, and uneven tarmac everywhere, 18's aren't that bad..  :smiley:

And they look  :cool:

my mate has those wheels in 17" on his Golf and they do look superb, really fill the arches nicely

I'll get him to mail me a pic

Cheers guys, Wazzer it'd be good if you could get a pic of them :)

Seen a few standard cars on the Autotrader with them on and a few Bora's and Estates but not many 3 doors lowered about the same as mine to give me a better idea...

They're quite rare on a Golf all in all which is good though and the ride quality shouldn't be too bad.

I agree 18's look  :cool: as hell, and if I struggle to find some of these 6 spoke jobbies for the right money I think some RS6 reps with a 35mm offset will have to be bought on 12 month finance haha :) Just hear stories of reps being heavy and soft metal, so don't want be tapping any potholes and bending rims!

Nice one mate :)

Mines a bit lower still so I think they'll look bigger than they are which is what I want really.

Need find a set now :D

ive got these on mine and think they look not to bad at all :smiley: my car is only lowered about an inch and they fill the arches nicely, mind you i have just bought new tyres for them and have opted for 205/40's rather than the usual 225/45's they seem to come with so might have to purchase some lower springs depending how it sits! they are in real need of a refurb and im not sure wether to keep them the standard colour or gloss black???

will post some pics up when i get the new tyres fitted mate :wink:

18's would look sweet, I'd probably wanna get it lowered more aswell in the long run haha :)

Will see if I can drop on some of the 17" Audi rims but if not then may aswell buy a set of RS6 reps for 400ish with tyres in 18".
