Title: Show off your alloys thread
Post by: Egg On Toast on 06 June 2011, 19:49: Hey guys, new here, and the search function gave me a million and one pointless threads XD sounds like a typical car forum to me!! I've just bought a MK3 gti 8v in dragon green, loving it, but, it's not me just yet as it's bog standard. s was wandering what alloys you guys had put on yours, rough prices on them, and how much you've lowered it by in order to get that "stance". Would be interested in hearing from a few of you and seeing this that I like and dislike.

I'm mainly looking for some VR6 style BBS rims, but would be nice to see what else works well!

Post by: stainesy on 06 June 2011, 20:08: My wheels are in the pic in my signiture bellow.
Can't post pics up at the mo as using my blackberry

They are 15â€œ lenso bsx
There are actuly fake split rims but they looks fecking awsum even close up.
Some people don't like them coz they aint real splits buy brand new with tyres they only cost me £600 but they look like wheels worth more.
I'm on coiloers that I have dropped as far as I can go without to much tyre rubbing.
My front vr style splitter is an inch or so from the floor.

Post by: Egg On Toast on 07 June 2011, 12:19: This thread has shown me that the MK3 golf seems to work with every alloy imaginable... I've not seen one that looks bad yet...

still loving the BBS splits mind. the standard GTI ones are a little bland and boring for my liking.

Post by: Jack3559 on 07 June 2011, 12:27: If I were going down the bbs split route I'd look for some E50s or similar.

Title: Re: Show off your alloys thread
Post by: Egg On Toast on 07 June 2011, 14:31: definately something different that's for sure. All the wheels I like cost a fortune, best get saving! would you all say 17" is the "usual" size for these then, as it seems not many people are rolling on 15s!
Title: Re: Show off your alloys thread
Post by: Jack3559 on 07 June 2011, 14:33: It's up to you mate.

15" is fine as long as you're willing to go really low.

17" is better for speed bump clearance.

16" is a happy median.
Title: Re: Show off your alloys thread
Post by: Egg On Toast on 07 June 2011, 14:34: there are plenty of speed bumps around here. i was thinking of coilovers with major lows ;)
Title: Re: Show off your alloys thread
Post by: stainesy on 07 June 2011, 14:40: Plenty of ramps where I live and I manage to be very low on 15,s and have not a lot of trouble getting about. Your learn where not to go after a wile lol

Team Dynamics-Swords 17" 4x100 ET38 with around and 80ish mm drop.

Bloody horrible but i got them new when it was my missus 1st car and was only £380 for a set new so i wasnt too bothered if she curbed them(which she did) new ones will be aquired once ive sorted the interior out.

This pic isnt of the wheels but i just like it (probably becuase they arnt in it) :grin:

Wheel size has sod all effect on ride height!
Using the correct tyres for each wheel diameter you will end up with the same rolling radius!

:rolleyes:
Title: Re: Show off your alloys thread
Post by: Jack3559 on 07 June 2011, 15:09: You know what I mean!

You don't want balloons on your sexy new 15" alloys.

So :rolleyes: back at you!

But you're right, it is dependant on tyre profile.
Title: Re: Show off your alloys thread
Post by: thai-wronghorse on 07 June 2011, 15:09: However, wheel size will affect ride quality and handling.

Post by: Jack3559 on 08 June 2011, 21:13: I can't imagine that they'd be an extortionate amount from the dealer if they're still stocked.
