MK6 GTI Replica Alloys??
« on: 30 March 2010, 09:41 »
These guys told me they can get them to directly fit a MK4 golf.

£425.00 for 4 alloys + Tyres!

You think they would look nice?

How nicely do 18's sit on mk4's?

Personally I've never really thought that the Monzas suit the MK4, but thats just me.

That's fair enough opinion. :)

I have to say I do like them, im not to bothered about the replica's obviously not having the VW badge in the middle. But I dont know if I should get 17 or 18. I got my daughter in the back, and dont want it to be to much of a rough ride over speed bumps, I live near LOADS. and have to go other loads on way to work every day. so It's deffo not being lowered.

I'm not the biggest fan of them but they do look good imo. If i were you id go 18s just because i have 17s and wish they were 18s or 19s but saying that i dont know how bad the ride will become

Oh yeah, if you are going to get some, what ever you do make sure you get at LEAST 18s.

I changed from 17s to 18s and noticed a considerable increase in price of tyres between 18 and 19 hence i went for 18s.

I paid just that or there abouts (I cant remeber now) for just the tyres. Are you running standard 150bhp?

As i said DECENT lol

Vredstein's which I got on the rear can be had for around £90 from Camskill

I paid £105 per corner for the Goodyears' last September from Camskill.  Would have had more but no one had them in stock so went for the Vredsteins  :smiley:
