What wheels
« on: 30 April 2021, 20:20 »
So I have a Clubsport incoming end of May and the the standard wheels

So what do I do?

VW alternative 18’s
VW alternative 19’s
Or an alternative

I am swaying towards a set of 18” Belvederes

Get some decent lightweight forged eighteens. Maybe Bbs? Your clubby will love you for it.

I think this would be a good time to use light eighteens, the clubby is an exceptional handling car...

Yes something like that but to be honest brand new vw oem's will be pricey anyway and they aren't even lightweight.
