18" or 19"
« on: 13 September 2012, 17:59 »
Looking to buy Replica Mk5 R32 Alloy wheels for my Golf , they come in 19" and 18" but im unsure what would look best and be the most practical.

As it stands im not planning on lowering my golf because i work in and around town where speed bumps are everywhere .. cant really be bothered hearing the sickening sound of my car getting scraped  :sad:

what do you guys think 18s or 19s

18s are still big and perfect for golfs, and mine only scrape a tad on full lock. Think ull have more issues with 19s tbh.

Sad truth is, if you're not going to lower it, it'll look like a tractor on 18's or 19's!

If you want it to handle well 17's are the future....

It's possible, but takes more work than most people can be bothered with....
