a tough one

S4 too common

rs8 i hate and personally think look gash

bk ones look ok though as do the monza dependant on the quality....so id go for one of those two out of the ones you have listed, or leave standard rims on :wink:

so i havnt voted as i think its a draw between the two iv mentioned, would have to see them in the flesh to decide

It would have to be the BK's for me and i've voted accordingly

I voted for monza's because i think they would look different to the usual alloys people stick on mk3's. I agree with kells, i think the rs8 ones look rubbish.

I am still looking for some good quality 17" replica's of the 1st style r32 wheels. I think they would look great. Here is a really poor attempt at paintshoppin' them on.............

The monza's for me they look kinda like Mk5 GTI rims to me  :wink:

RS4s with some lovely shiny VW badges in them like mine look like they were made for the mk3

TT comps look the sh!t when you polish the crap out of them but i guess its alot of up-keep, but if you can be arsed they look superb on the mk3. but if you dont get them those bk's look nice  :smiley:

s4 's cos pete taylors car looks sweet , but that one with the mk5 alloys looks pretty cool too.

hate S8 alloys and those BK things have too many mounting holes
