Title: MK3 18" pics request
Post by: Junior74 on 06 June 2012, 21:30
Can anyone help?
Looked in the usual places but can't seem to find any decent pics of mk3's on 18inch wheels.
Anybody got any (side on if possible), I know they will be too big and look rediculous but I'm obsessed with a set of 3sdm's, smallest size is 18".

Somebody please put me off!!!!!

Mk3's don't seem to wear big alloys too well.

Yes, you are right but just wanted to see some proof...

I would do this but would end up photoshopping them to look good!!!!

Have seen a few with 18"s and it is not easy, even with 215/35's they can catch the front of the beam.

Not worth the hassle, stick with the corvette rims

50 / 50 on it, looks ok but 18"s still look too big on a mk3

I know what you mean, has to be the right stance/colour.

I'm also liking the new 3sdm 0.05 alloys i've even emailed them asking if there will be a 17" made and the response is they have a 16" on the drawing bored but 17" is not in the pipeline as of yet but maybe in the future  :smiley:

No mate they didn't all that was said is they have them planned but still a long way off i really hope they consider 17" as i'd be straight on them  :smiley: i feel though that everyone will be buying a set they have already sold more than they have made with pre orders  :laugh: It's a relatively new company and i think they only have one other different set available which are the 0.01 alloys which arn't so nice. These are massive in the us at the mo and i believe forge motorsport will be the main sales people for these also.
