Ronal Turbos????
« on: 15 June 2005, 00:23 »
Hi Guys

Just wondering what wheels to fit to my new Golf, i recon its been lowered a good 40mm (close to 60mm), my old golf had 17" rims on it want a change on the one. Got the new front end coming this week. Decided to go for a plain 5bar grill with just two cross haired spots, recon it should look good. watcha recon?

So back to the wheels, i was thinking of a set of Ronal Turbos, what size though, and what type, i do like the look when they fit a nice big fat low profile tyre to them. i mean like this See what i mean.. Looks good doesnt it.. Its currently sitting on 15" though, suppose if i go with a smaller profile tyre it will sit lower, wont it?



Let me know your thoughts, any input would be appreciated,

Cheers

Dave

Turbos with 195/45/15's.

AFAIK they only come in 15x7 (et 38?)  Good wheels if you intend to go low.

I've got Ronals on 195/50/15, but you should be OK with 195/45/15.
Go for it, they'll look good!

They wont look silly just because you're "only" 40mm, when I said they were good if you want to go real low I meant because of the width and offset they allow you to tuck them right up in the arches which wider wheels or wheels with lower et's won't.  :laugh:

keefusgti - Wanna post some more pictures of yours in here.. Is yours lowered?

capoot - No problem, mail me golf@getripped.co.uk

Alexg40 - My old mk2 had 17" on and these just fit under the arch, i liked the look, just wondered how mine would look. think its got 14" on at the mo.. So 15" with a lower profile tyre will make the car lower but wont make the arch any closer to the tyre will it... ummm Watacha think??? Any ideas what size tyre.. want a realy nice low profile tyre...
