which alloys?
« on: 24 October 2012, 18:13 »
hey guys,

i've got a black gti and want some new alloys as quite frankly i'm bored of the one's that are still on from when i bought the car. basically i'm finding it so hard to decide what to go for and am just wondering if people could recommend some that would suit it. Keep asking myself if i want TT comps, monza mk5 gti's, some sort of black bbs'..

hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppp

any pics would help too!

cheers  :smiley:

Monzas belong on a mk5...and even then they look bad.  :sick:

Black BBS CH's would look sweet on a mk4.

TT comps are not my cup of tea...Fat fives however  :smiley:

18s came standard on the R32 and Anni so you won't need any work for them. I don't even think you need to do anything put 19s on but wouldn't in the interest of comfort
