Hi Guys,
I recently purchased my Gti Mk3 8v and it came with these wheels.......they are Boss 17inch alloys and although I'm vaguely familiar with the make they are just not my cup of tea.....what do you guys think?.....am I just being a plonker or should i go for some BBS VR6 ones i'm currently craving for?...opinons please.

whatever you decide dont forget to lower it
-
Don't think they suit it at all to be honest.
-
personaly i would replace
-
definiatly replace :smiley:
-
There alryt in my opinion. :smiley: could do better could do worse.
-
lower it mate, car completly changes then!
-
i used to love 5 spoke rims way back in the days, but dnt really like them anymore, although that said once u lower the car it will change the whole car.
-
Just seen another black GTi with the same alloys!!!!....definately going to get rid!!!.....lowering is on the to do list....about 40mm I was thinking?.....don't want to go too low as its speed bump central around Lincoln centre!!! :evil: cheers for the input peeps!

skip fodder!

They are too big for it too. Stick to max 16" IMO. Get it lowered asap. :cool:

17"s are not too big, the issue is the pattern / style.

i would get rid of them.standard alloys or bbs is the only way for me.
-
Not my cup of tea! Sorry!
-
Jap sh!t.

I have those exact wheels on my valver, although the center caps ar BK Racing. They look a whole lot better once the car is lowered. I'll try an upload some pictures tomorrow.

I would personally get rid of asap. Mikester has the right idea, the design of them looks like they belong a Jap car, not suited to Golfs at all in my opinion. Sorry.

Sorry for the delay, had to wait for the rain to stop. Here she is, I get the feeling people don't like the wheels but I don't think they are too bad. Given that the whole car only cost me £150 I'm in no hurry to change them :smiley:

i used to like the 5 spoke alloys, but now when i see them they remind me of the cheap tacky tat thats in hafrauds, lol
i would get rid tbh, but get something ya dont see much ;)
manxmann, i would worry about what people say, 150 quid ya cant argue for a long time, lol!!!!
