Thing is I love the Austin's but thanks to their mirror like diamond cut finish they look terrible when even remotely dirty. :(

This might have been asked elsewhere, but will 16" steel wheels suitable for a Golf (I've been looking on eBay) fit on a GTI PP or are 17"s the minimum I can use?

I've never really considered winter tyres before, but I've moved out into the sticks and now have a 30 mile commute cross country.

It'll say in the handbook but I'll guess that 17" would be the minimum for a PP GTI

16" is a tight fit on a non-PP GTI, so I would think 17" would be the minimum for a PP.

I've looked in the hand book and it only says "Volkswagen dealerships can provide details on permissible winter tyre sizes".

Have a look on the inside of the filler cap where it lists all the tyre pressures. My non-PP GTI shows tyre pressures for 16" M&S tyres, and I would guess a PP GTI has a different list ?
