15" is the smallest, anything smaller looks daft and screws up the gearing.

Swap your brakes for GL items and get yourself some of these 14"s!

14's require a crazy low drop to start looking good. If you want small wheels 15's are a good size :afro: I run 15's and think they're a good size, not too big but not too small either.

Agreed, 15"s look small on a Mk3 anyhow if they're wide enough..

Anything smaller than 15's will look stupid :undecided:

Cheers for the input guys  :smiley:Just got a vento front end and I'm in 2 minds whether to go matt black bonnet and roof or keep it all one colour (fiord blue or something).Also liking the deep dish idea,I had some black with chrome rims on my T4.
