They look great from the side, but a bit too much poke for my liking. The car will get filthy in seconds on wet roads and splattered in tar on dry ones.

What are you doing with your Vancouvers?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Really like them matty, great combo with the body colour  :cool:  as for the harsh ride, agree roads are awful anyway so might as well have 19's if you like the look.

Looks great, if you like it have it !

What springs are you running ? And tyre profile width?

I think you are right on the lights.
