I can understand if you wish to future upgrade your wheels to order wih 17" from the factory.
But you had to be different and go retrograde. I suppose it's the IN thing to do when you live in STEAL city. :evil:

Put them on for Heaven's sake. They need to be used not wrapped in cotton wool. Pointless owning things if they are then classified as useless and userless. :wink:

Remap and 17"s. Must be one of the fastest GTIs around your area.

Do you notice much difference in ride between the 17" and the 19"s??


Remember the 17"s are faster, cheaper, more comfortable, cheaper tyres, less easy to kerb, stealthier and less common.

An unwashed white car with tiny 17" wheels must be so beautiful to behold. :grin:

I moved from the 18" shadows to the 17" monzas... tbh when i moved up to the 18" i didnt notice any difference. However going back down to 17" they are a little less crashy on bumps, but i cant help think the 18" had more grip although I suspect this is down to tyres.

17" bridgestones
18" dunlops  :undecided:


p.s. Very quick now though :wink:
