18"s are way too big for a mk3, will kill the ride and handling.

I have it lowered 25mm all round on bilstein coilovers with front upper and lower strut brace and it handles a dream! The ride is a little hard but nothing I can't live with! Plus it looks good!  :cool:

I'm finding it hard post pics, but you can check the car out on eBay, the item number is.   250461282116
And if anyone can tell me what the alloys are or what they are off I owe you a pint!!  :smug:

haha, one day you will realise 18's on a mk3 are truely ridiculous unless they're bentley rims or somin. also why would you buy coilies only to lower it 25mm! :grin:

Alloys are something aftermarket with a VW badge stuck on, certainly not fitment on any factory car.

Weirdly though I think theose 18'ss really suit the car and it looks pretty good.

cheers! The alloys do have a vw and a made in Germany stamp made into the wheel. That's what made me think they are factory.

Really? Odd. I'm 99.9% sure they're not a gen VW rim.

Looks a nice car, I think if you do some checking I am sure those wheels were an factory option on mk4's

I still think 18"s are too big but they do seem to suit it.
