Peoples opinions for which wheels to get
« on: 24 September 2006, 17:36 »
just bought my silver gt tdi yesterday and im collecting it on tuesday! yey!! Just wondering what peoples opinions are on what alloys to put on?  Ill be looking to spend £600-£700 and will go for vw, audi wheels or sum BBS.  Just not sure what peoples preferences are as i will probably not have seen the full vw or audi range.  So let me know what your preferences are and any photos would be brilliant of the wheels or even better if theyre already on the golf!!  will probably lower her afterwards but that depends on how it looks with the wheels and if i want to spend more cash.

cheers

john

Hi, try and go for the wheels and suspsension all in one as they look a bit 4x4ish if you dont. Wheels i been looking at recently are ASA AR1's from dubmeister, Ace 132s (bbs lm sort of style)look at r-tec for pictures, BBS RCs a bit out the price range but oemparts sell em. Reps are nice but heavier just have a look on ebay for RS4, RS6 and R32 items which are all under £600

my new style r32 alloys look ok, but i'm a big fan of the old rs4's, but only trouble is they're on every golf you see.


double click to make it bigger  :wink:
