Title: help me choose and buy wheels please
Post by: tweed on 17 January 2011, 17:28
Right I am so close to buying some schmidt 3 piece modern lines! But then I looked at 2 piece th lines. What to get right? Well I've chosen the modern lines but it got me thinking what else is out there? Am I going regret this because as you know they ain't cheap.

So what else is out there? I want 8" et20 front and 9" et15 rear I've got £2000 for wheels and tyres and they have to be no bigger than 16" I have mk3 gti

rotiform are to much for what I want  :cry:

So get thinking dudes and post some pics
