Title: Budget wheel choice - ideas?
Post by: GaryL on 16 April 2007, 10:55

Hi all,

Hope you can help.

I have a Dragon Green Mk3 Gti and im considering some rims.
However i dont want anything expensive - all i want is an OEM+ wheel - even a nice VW 16" But im unsure of what to look for or whats available?
Would prefer not to use spacers or wheel adapters if possible but i will consider it for the right wheel.

Can anyone help or advise?

the montreal is a nice wheel, get some low profiles on there and it'll look good

I do like them audi rim's but they remind me of mk2 golf steelies... I would go for merc amg rim's (with the flat face and a max of 16") for quality OEM+ look but everyone to there own......

Was going to say i was hunting for a set of Anni rims, but finding some was a real problem!

Im really leaning towards the Audi rims, dont really fancy spalshing out on BBS's to be honest!

Whatever rims you fancy lately I have seen some very nice paint jobs which makes them look very special.

Matt GTI has got his standard MK3 GTI alloys painted black and they look sweet as. Also, saw some BBS CH painted black and they looked wicked  :evil:
