17's can look good if lowered, otherwise 18's look the business. Try and get the 1.6 fsi, it's superior to the 1.4 every single way, mpg included.

18"s are better on a mk5 and go for the 1.6

Got to be 18's.

Mine came wit 17 Monzas and I was so disappointed with them. Just dont look anywhere near as impressive as the 18s.

If you get LM reps, make sure you get 19's otherwise they will look sh!t. :lipsrsealed:
