Title: Which wheels?
Post by: jimma on 14 March 2007, 21:11

I am currently looking for new wheels for my golf mkiv (black, 5-door, gti) and have narrowed it down to two.
opinions if you will please;

Borbet A's:

OR

RS4's:

I'm really stuck between the two.. Any thoughts?

On a last note, a friend suggested having mkv gti wheels, but I'm unsure about putting mkv wheels on a mkiv...

Much Thanks!!

Apologies if links cease to work, I've linked to them off google images

i saw a mk4 on the mk5 r32 rims the other day actually looked quite smart

i personally wouldn't put mk5 GTI rims on a mk4 thought as they are very distinctive and i just don't think it would look right

I see what you're saying...

What do you reckon between the two above?

what size are you thinking? I thought the A's stopped at 16", which unless you are dropping it on the floor will look way too small :)

16's or 17's. I'm pretty sure I've seen the A's advertised up to 18's though.
