I'm suprised at the fact that only one other person other than me has voted 14s? :o
come on theres got to be more than the two of us who enjoy a golf with the proper size wheels don't be embarassed? ;)
with 14s you get better handleing ,quicker acceloration due to the weight of the wheels ,cheaper tyres and longer lasting ball joints? :D

and only 29 people have wheels now  :o

I might have voted 14's, but they are definatly not proper size (not at 9" wide)!
Got to agree on the handling though - its like it is on rails! handles far better than any car I have driven. The ride quality does suffer though - it is harsh!
Tyres, cheap? not when your run 215/40/14 they're not!!
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

no way can you get cheaper tyres for 14's, unless they are 185 14 60 or some sh!t like that, besides theres nothing wrong with 15's with 45 tyres on

BBS RS are even better!!!

and 15's with a decent profile tyre are about the same as a 14 witha regular profile trye. also with 14's you cant fit 280mm brakes.

 

and only 29 people have wheels now :o


does it annoy you that no-ones bothered to tell you what size wheels they use or something? ???
