hmm... that's a toughy... your rims aren't bad at the moment (never said that to a man before!!)

I'd say yes, but they do look similar to oz volcanoes is it?

dont know if theyre either to my taste or will suit your car mate. Certainly need to change ur rims with the new smooth look but i think something a little more standard lookin or less loud would look much better. Thing i think is u have made a lot of subtle mody mods and got a subtle flip in the paint, but theyre loud enough to say just enough to make it show material. (think that makes sence)

Perhaps some deep rimmed bbs styles with a mirror polished rim, subtle enough to look standard ish at a glance but when u look, oh my god! f**k me how special does that look!

have i made my point? i know what i mean anyway.

by the way, golfpro's back!  :laugh:

There was a guy in August's Golf+ that had them on a burnish orange mk3. The car itself sat too high, and the wheels didn't suit it IMO. Why not go for some unusual Audi rims, unless you're going for a different look with your car.

Nope, they'll look gay mate. Get some like this:

Or polished?

Cos they are fan-fuggin-tastic and will make the old smoothy look a million dollars....

You know it makes sense, now get the wallet out..........  :smiley:

both truely nice rims, i saw the bbs on flee-bay, but are gonna make daft money, the audi rims do look phat, but everybody is goin audi or porsche rims, yeah they look good, but i wanted to be different, maybee slammed on the coilovers, and the fact that they're 8in wide, they should look sick, i think i'm gonna have em, it's them or these polished.....

You wouldn't be able to 'slam' it with these, they're too big. 16's would look and drive better, plus the tyres would (generally) be cheaper. You could get a boggo set of Audi rims, and get them polished to look the shizzle :cool: for about £200 with tyres.
Title: Re: thinkin of these rims, opinoins plz....
Post by: HARDCOR3 on 04 December 2005, 00:09
find me some without tyres polished for 200 n i'll buy em, i've had mi eye on a set of new audi 16's, but buy time i've got em polished then spacers, they'd stand me to around £500, n i don't rate em as 500 quid rims.....

no good they've been kurbed on 1, but those were the style i was lookin at, but too much money all in..

Thought about those TSW Catalunya, they've got a polished lip, and a grey/black or silver centre?

Pimp my Ride UK used them on that mk2, but they were only 15".

wouldn't suit overall look
Title: Re: thinkin of these rims, opinoins plz....
Post by: golfpro on 04 December 2005, 13:38
theyre like the wheels toofunky has on his mk1 and i agree, probably wouldnt suit.

were the dishes the first ones u posted? I like those bbs that lewy put 1st best but they could look good. Deffo go streched with the tyres. Im well tempted with borbet a's for mine, the deeper ones of those polished with streched rubber are the poodles thingy!

can't believe hardcor3 seemed to actually like some bbs!! :shocked: but i don't like the set you put up. the dish is cool but the centre of the hub sits too far out making the spokes rake back loads. which looks gash in my opinion!

Found a pic of a mk3 on your first choice of wheels, thought you might be interested, I personally rather like them!

nice 1 mate, i was just starting to doubt myself, but as i thought, they'll look sweet, especially after i've slammed it, i may even colourcode centres, but dunno yet......
