You should all be embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves. :shocked:

You should be talking about how light the wheel/tyres are and not how big.

Remember for handling it isn't the length, but the width that counts  (oo-err missis! :laugh:)

Having said that I loved the 19's on the Golf R and the ride was more than acceptable for my gnarly old back.

Does anyone know if the wheels from the new EOS are compatible with the Golf?  I assume they are :undecided:

They'll bolt up okay. The offsets are lower (ET44 I think) like the Scirocco, so they'll sit slightly further out in the arch.

I though Scirocco's were 35 offset?

Bling - 18"s win.

All other departments 17"s win.

If you have ACC then the ride is sublime in comfort mode.


Sport mode for a weekend blast :evil:

Scirocco wheels are ET41. Eos wheels will be similar.
And thus ends my participation in this thread.  :smiley:
