I was thinking about some so photoshopped some on my car:



18" guesswork lol, but I wasn't so sure after that pic. I've seen a dark green mk4 3 door on 18" variants not lowered much and it looked a bit pants.

Yours does sit quite low though so all being well will pull them off :)

the ones i have are lighter in colour and 19". like u say my car sits low as it is. these will fill the arches nicely and look good against the red. wait for snow to go and i will post pics you will see how much better it looks than your photoshop.they look small on your pic most wheels dont look as god when they small. once there on you will see and change your mind im sure. the s3 rims look sweet to there 19" .watch this space point will be proven :cool:
