Title: expect another wheel topic ;-) ....
Post by: search on 03 February 2013, 21:56

rolling on ATS CUPS   CLASSICS at the mo and they just look to small for me tbh, so I'm wondering what wheels look good on a mk2? its all well and good telling me to look on google but if I don't no what brand names to look for then its pointless. I'm thinking 15" is a nice nice size?

what size are the cups then  :huh:

try going thru the mk2 picture thread in this section for ideas then copy the picture over and ask what wheels  :smiley:

and as there are 100s of wheels, its pointless in tell you any - you might never find a set we like  :smiley:

lower I find it hard getting over small speed bumps, some lad down my road has his on the ground I wonder how he even gets over stones lol.

btw its not the grille I'm after it actually the lowest pannel (metal part) budget about £400 but that's with tyres aswell.

Like Mr Blue... 1st Go for BBS.... RZ's or RA's should be on budget (RA's with spare cash) Yo might get a set of split rim RM's for budget BUT are crap for winter, as they can rot and really you need a 2nd set...IMO


2nd ATS Cups.


3rd Borbet A's with deep dishes - but can be expensive....


The Missus has RH Porsche Cups... Not bad but very soft metal and are bent to feck...

Pslots worth a swap for the ats classics?

Post by: JC on 04 February 2013, 20:48

all depends on what you want with that budget. only you can choose - but yeah, 15s with 195/50-15s would be a good place to start

would even get ya a brand new set of G60 steels and tyres for £400  :smiley:
