Mornin fellas
Does anyone have any pictured of the mkv with the above rims? I'm looking to see how they will fit to my car, I've got v3's where the car has been lowered on 19s if I swap for 17s will my car be riding high again??

request a photoshop job in cosmetic matters.
it will be a bigger arch gap, but lower to the ground.
or exactly the same depending on the tyre profile you go for

Curretly I have 225/35/19
And I think I'll go oem 245/45/17 so unsure as to how it will look!

Ooh very nice!! I'm looking at 17s however I may look at 18s now!

VWR supply the wheels above, they come without the Team Dynamics writing around the rim and are supplied in anthracite grey. The black ones have a diamond cut edge and painted gloss black at A1 Wheels in Wolverhampton. :wink:

Cheers mark!!

Looking at these pics I think I might go 18s...

Good choice of wheel :afro: 18"s look better however.

Cheers Wayne, I'd like to track her though! I'm rather undecided now! I was set on 17s...
-
17 x 8 or 18 x 8 it doesn't matter too much in terms of handling. :cool:
-
Oh you haven't helped now Hurdy!! I hoped you were going to battle the 17s corner...
I may well have to go matt black tdpro 1.2 18x8..
