Post by: GOLF_MK on 13 April 2009, 11:41: I really like BBS RX / RXII's but am currently looking at some 4 motion wheels off a MK4 that have been done in black. Trying to decide if they will suit my red MK3 :undecided:

Post by: Wayne on 13 April 2009, 18:45: I would go for 16" or 17", why not be brave and forget common BBS's and go for Porsche or Merc alloys with adaptors.

Nothing wrong with Vectras, a lot of car for the money, don't knock them unless you have tried them.
