I think these give it a suttle look, really like em are they 17" or 18"???
-
It really depends on what look you want?
-
i dont want typical look as theres quite a few golfs around my area.. i want to keep the suttle VW look if you know wa i mean :grin:
as im going to be putting a full anni kit in april, with smoked henna rear lights, and projectors on the front with debadged grill, so after something make it look suttle and not typical golf look.
oh and some smoked out black wind deflectors are going on in april too :smiley:

I shall stick to my usual reply fr MK4 alloys queries - R32 rims (OZ Super turismos). I think they look ace and diffrent form the BBS RCs
-
i neva thought about those!!! :cool:
will the ones are the r32 slap straight on normal golf mk4 as i thought the offset is different???
-
straight fit
ANY OEM MKIV wheel will fit directly onto another MKIV
-
R32 rim's are called OZ aristos I thought?
Richw911 is still selling a set isn't he? (replica's)

will there be a nasty gap between the rim and the arch if i fit 18" rims on, as i dont want to lower the car at all.

V6 4M wheels are 16" & are called "Brands Hatch". From my car, last year:-

That's the least of the wheels' problem in that picture!! ;)
Tyre's are shocking, TBH, but they came with the wheels (4 odd ones). Still not bad £350 for the lot, though! :smug
I only got one decent tyre with them, & that was an F1 GS-D3 (Only about 2-3mm left on it now, though). Since then, I've had 1 x 6mm F1 Assymetric put on already (£50 delivered), & had another 6mm F1 Assymetric picked up today, as it happens, for £38 8). I'm just biding my time, waiting for the bargains to unravel! :P Only 2 more to go, now!! :)
-
some pirelli's will wrap nice around those rims :smiley:
-
No offence, but Pirelli's are way down on my list! Just don't rate them, TBH. ;)
-
seriously i thought they are like the BEST!!! as iv been told... iv got continental's on my original 16" gti rims :sick: ... not gone into a roundabout yet so all good :grin:
-
Mmmmm, I know a few people in the tyre trade, & none of them rate them either!
F1 Assymetrics (N/A in 16", though :() or Michy's (too expensive new) for me. Then maybe Bridgestones next. :)
-
ps Conty Sport Contact 2's are supposed to be quite good - Don't know which Conty's you've got, though. :undecided:
-
i have no idea... they look like just plain budget conty's be honest.. loads life left in them tho ... so will last me up until i decide wa rims to get :cool: ...

Good plan. No point swapping them if you're going to get 18's. :afro:
-
you guys with 18" hows the handling like on ya mk4?? any difference?? worser better ?? :nerd:
-

i dont find any difference between the 16's or 18's to be honest - haven't really pushed the car too hard as still bedding in the tyres a bit but the ride quality doesn't seem affected
i'm running original shocks on -30mm Eibach Pro Springs and Falken 452 tyres :smiley:
-

Wider tyre, so there's more grip, but there's a less sharp turn-in. They're usually heavier (unlike my 18" OZ's Vs. 16" Brands Hatch's :smug:) so handling is not quite as good. Ride is slightly harsher, as the sidewalls are shorter. ;)
-
hmmmm there are loads and i mean loads of humps around where i live... i think lowering will have to be an option if im goin to put 18" on as i hate that gap between the arch.
ill be needing extra cusion on the drivers seat i guess :grin:
-
They're not that bad, TBH. ;)
-
no seriously these humps are like mountains :angry:
i wouldnt be suprised the springs go soon

Hurdis Road, Shirley?? :D

WORSER!!!!! believe it or not :cry:
there like big square blocks middle the fookin road... they could have atleast curved them off
i think i need to invest in movin out next instead of the rims :grin:

No money for modding.....................................................??
What's the point in living?! :D
-
lol well said :laugh:

-

I Can't see how the handling would be worser ??
-
as with rhyso im running the same set up as him and no complaints here :smiley:
-
so all you did get 30mm springs?? no change of shocks or dampers??
-
wont i damage the shocks if im constantly going of humps day in and out??? as my mates got vrs and he had his lowered 40mm ... just the springs changed... and now hes shoks are going he has to get them changed.
-
not really as the Eibachs are designed to work with the original shocks
probably won't last as long obviously but they certainly won't fail overnight!
-
thats true if you get a proper make springs then they will last... hes got some ebay crap on his lol
