hmm, not sure matey, they are a bit 'japanese', don't think the curved spokes (in towards the rim) will really suit a mk4 that well

what's your budget? :)

monty's wheels and tyres has got OZ replica R32 wheels for about £800. I would steer clear of BBS wheels, I have them on my car and they have given me nothing but grief. On my third set now and they are rusting  :embarassed:

Make sure that you get a wheel/tyre combo that gives you the right rolling radius.  For 17" rims, you'll need 225/45/17s. 

205/40/17 will make your total wheel size too small!!
