Title: x5 wheels
Post by: ALBEEEEY on 15 April 2012, 19:33: I know i've heard of problems with these wheels rubbing etc when fitted on a mk4. They are 19" X5 wheels but does anybody know if they make them in 18"?
if so that could get rid of some of the problems?

these are pictures of Hamidi from UKMKIV's old Golf :smiley:
