Plenty of ideas posted in this thread, have a look through all the pages for some ideas.  18" & 19" are down to personal choice but 19"s do give a slightly harder ride.

If it were me I'd get 19"s.

Have fun looking.

Wheels are a highly personal choice but if I had to recommend one wheel design it'll have to be BBS CK's since I still haven't met anyone who didn't like them on a GTI. The design of the CK's just seem to have the right "roundness/edgyness" ratio to fit the look of the Golf. Also getting the right offset is critical.

I'll have to rephrase to "almost" next time. :)
