Best size wheels for 1.8 turbo?

[RTechUK]

I have drove 10000s of mk4 1.8T and IMO 17" rims offer the best all around feel for power.

I still think a mk4 looks better on 18"s however 17"s can feel better to drive.

17's look to small, 18's is best all round

Your mad,19's with tons of stretch is best.Thinking a mk4 is a Lotus is foolish

rolty_gti - I've seen your pics in another thread mate, very nice 

Do you have any problems at all with speed bumps?
Also what kind of springs are they and have you changed the shocks?

[rolty_gti]

To be honest with you i have no idea what springs and shocks they are as i bought the car as it is now but will find out 2mrw as i'm doin some work on it so will let u kno.as for the speed bumps i have no trouble but i do slow down as i dont wanna rattle the wheels/suspension etc and dont wanna rip the bumper off.it isn't really low it just lowered ebough to take out the massive arch gap lol.go for 18's with 35-40mm drop you wont regret it

18's FTW   golfs are quite big cars, those arches need filling!

I am still running the OEM 16" rims, and the power I have the car feels awesome every gear... it just dont go anround bends too well.. :embarassed:  Need to get 17" rims and lower the old girl a bit
