Title: need new rims but which ones HELP
Post by: kuksool on 24 May 2004, 09:29

After a long debate ive decided to keep my motor and im more than happy with it!

anyways i want some new rims on it.... now im gonna go no bigger than 15's as i dont want to mess with my mk2's handling

suggestions please any pics of 15's on your car also greatly appreciated!

oh bbs RM or RS would be great but tooooooo much cash for me!

a pic of your car would help, Then you we could choose the style from the styling of your golf.

Example = My golf + Chunky looking lip kit = OZ hydras which are chunky 5 spokes.

Well, I could recomend some multispokes, If you want some light waight multispokes try OZ turismos, There expencive, But will give you a huge performance benifit due to them being very light.

However if your on a budget, Some chunky TSW 5 spokes would look nice, Im guessing your after a more subtle look so i wold recomend somthing a little less expencive than the OZs if thats the case,

Have you tryed going to halfords and looking there? Thats where i sourced most of my insporation  ;D

ive got these baby's going on my 16v this weekend, they are 16" speedlines

(http://img56.photobucket.com/albums/v172/SiVWW/CultraShow24April/Mk1.gif)

hell of a lot better than the poxy Stealths on mine, only cost me ?130, and ive sold the stelaths for ?75 ;D

(http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/gti/gambit.jpg)

ill have to get pics up once i get them on

Title: Re:need new rims but which ones HELP
Post by: kuksool on 27 May 2004, 08:59

i too contimplated the speedlines as they are well nice and you can get them in the 16x6.5 which is perfect for golfs! but at 130 a corner from new without tyres my budget couldnt afford em   :(

so nice purchase gambit and yes they will look alot better than the stealths!

Dubmeister have one of the best choices in wheels IMO, * Ads dreams of his Steffans * however the wait for anything to arrive from them seems to take an eternity, But I suppose this is the price for a bit of exclusivity.  ;)
