funny, i had my mk 5 for 2 and a half years and my 18s were spotless, didn't get any of those issues.  like someone said, if that happens just get them replaced under warrenty - job done!  at the end of the day unless you're an old granny who can't handle a firm ride or you only drive on a track day in day out, there is only one option and that's the 18's.

saw a red gti on someone's driveway in upminster on the weekend.  it is pretty discret tbh, esp cos it had 17 inch alloys.  was pointing it out to some friends, but they were more interested in the 350Z and Evo X on the other side of the road!

all good arguments.  but at the end of the day the 18's look better, and that's that!   :wink:
.........nail on the head there mate.I had my mk5 2 weeks before i found a set of edition 30 alloys of a member on here.I must be one of the few on here who is not keen on the Monza alloys in either 17'' or 18''.Much prefer the BBS ch or lm look .

People must be waiting. I have not seen a single GTI mk6 apart from local dealers demo models. I have seen 2 GTDs so far though. :sad:
