ye cheers i think they should look pritty special too. and a bit different to everyone else also. they gona be proper tight on the arches cuz the 18's on there now are sitting about a finger width below the arch so the extra size of the 19 even with the drop in tyre profile should stick them right on the arches without scrubbing hopefully. :laugh:

I was thinking about some so photoshopped some on my car:

(http://www.illusional.co.uk/golf/pics/newrs6.jpg)

18" guesswork lol, but I wasn't so sure after that pic. I've seen a dark green mk4 3 door on 18" variants not lowered much and it looked a bit pants.

Yours does sit quite low though so all being well will pull them off :)

Just checking you do know the ones in the link will not fit a mk4.
Title: Re: fitting new rims in the morning!!!
Post by: p11jon on 18 December 2010, 20:32
the ones i have are lighter in colour and 19". like u say my car sits low as it is. these will fill the arches nicely and look good against the red. wait for snow to go and i will post pics you will see how much better it looks than your photoshop.they look small on your pic most wheels dont look as god when they small. once there on you will see and change your mind im sure. the s3 rims look sweet to there 19" .watch this space point will be proven :cool:
