Wheel Advice
« on: 07 July 2011, 18:00 »
Hi guys,

looking for wheel advice, mainly size.

I want something that looks like lenso bsx type wheels, but better quality.

Currently the car is not lowered although it will be on coli overs sometime in the next year or so and i will want a drop, but not too low (speed bumps everywhere here!!)

what can you suggest and what size wheels will fit on a golf?

thanks

16" with 195 or 205/45's is a good choice :afro:

Calibre Vintage, same style, massive difference in quality. Talking from experience, had both sets.

The Calibre Vintage are a very good alternative although I've not seen them in 16". Only 17 & 18.

Best rs/rm alike I've seen. Could also go with 17" to fill the arch if you're not going that low.
