i was thinking of getting some new alloys for my flash red mk3 and wasnt sure what to go for :undecided: I was thinking may be black to go for contrast but which wheel? its sending me mad
i love the bbs alloys but a bit out my price range.
i was wondering about the team dynamics in black link below

what do people think? i dont want to buy then go off them straight away so
i have to make sure i make the right choice.
anyone got a flash red golf with any pics :shocked:
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

well i guess it depends on ur mind-set.
if ur in ur late teens/early 20's then maybe ull want ur car 2 look all boy racerish & 'blinged out' or if ur a bit older, u might want ur car 2 just look like a classy german hatchback?
like u, ive seen possibly hundreds of dun-up, pimped out and completely standard mk3's. im in my late 30's now and i have 2 admit, personally, the best of ANY cars are the ones that look as standard as possible. how many times have u seen bits for sale on ebay coz the seller is putting the car 'back to standard'? loads!! the fact is, most mods look great 4 the 1st few weeks, but start 2 look quite tacky and cheap after that, just looking worse and worse as time goes by, till u cant take it anymore & ...................'selling these rims as putting my golf back 2 standard'!!! lol
i think, lowering, a nice stereo setup, maybe some very light tints and perhaps some 'mild and gentle' engine mods, thats it...........oh & if u can afford it, maybe a cheap personal/ageless number plate!! as slick as silky the silk worms' favourite silk pajamas!!
ill come back and c wot the opinion of the others on here is, who knows i might be massively in the minority.................i am an old fart now!! lol

You talking crazy boooy! :wink:
Think the team dynamics are a little 'too much' for a standard car. You'd need to do a lot to get them to look right, but still not convinced they'd work with a red car....
-
dont get me wrong i love the simple and subtle look. i kinda went wrong with my front splitter but anyway thats a different story. what a car needs is a sh!t hot set of wheels some lowering and thats bout it on the outside. as long as the paintwork is in good condition it works every time :)
-
Kind of getting the idea the subtle look always wins but may be not all the time. I always have an open mind when it comes to modifying so always love the other opinions from good guys/gals like yourself.
Well unfortunately I will be 30 this year I haven’t turned into a road captain yet
but there’s plenty of time to shake a stick out the window. lol
I love my dubs and love anyone else that’s into them as well I’ve had a few golfs now and wouldn’t go back I also had a PAXO VTS which was a big mistake.
Well the car came slammed on some coilovers but that’s about it looks nice as it is and yes I was thinking may be a private reg plate for her and that’s it.
Golfs do look nice as they are (no way would I bodykit it)
I must say sir I do like the bbs alloys :cool:

those asa's look sweet as, now sorry but whats the point of a standard mk3? i mean come on, they dont go round corners for sh!t so you need to drop them, get some wheels like that and enjoy! i am 27 this year and still love modding! :grin:

:smiley:

WHat about the very first vr6 bbs' 15"?
About £120 for a refurbed set on ebay! there was also a set on the parts for sale section on here a week ago.
they look good when refurbed... and cheaper than new aftermarket non bbs!
