Anyone running 17 inch alloys?
« on: 14 July 2011, 10:27 »
Hey guys.

When i do eventually upgrade me wheels i'll be looking at 17s as they will offer more comfort than 18s and won't slow the car down as much.

Which 17s look nice on a mk4?

Any pics would be appreciated, cheers :-)

Not much difference in comfort tbh.

Mine is not much harsher on 225/40's than 205/50.

17"s can tend to look small.
