Much prefer the ones on the Corrado ^^^^^ the first set look a lil too Escalade, especially on the Golf, don't really go well at all IMO

Agreed, reckon they'd look good on a Rallye though.

My mates just bought some of those bsx rims for his 206
They look mint  :cool:

I thought their offset was meant to be a bit shoddy for a mk2?

I have heard that BSX can suffer corrosion problems around the rim.

Each to their own, but that looks terrible to me!

I don't like big wheels on a MK2. 17" is waaaaaaaay too big. I wouldn't go above 15" personally. 15" is the sweet spot IMO.

As above the 17'' looks to big on a mk2.I would stick with 15''.
