slick what are those wheels in your sig?

also i say oem+ get some VAG wheels and re-furb them a different colour/colour code them or something......

Wheels in my sig are un-identified. The closest i found to them are the same wheels as were fitted to Golf Countries, although i never found the name of them either.

I have something special planned for mine though so keep your peepers open at Gt springi fest  :wink:

I agree with joe when it comes to the a's. I was set on some for the 3mer til iv seen so many on other cars. Gettin so popular now. bbs splits always look fab. Expensive i believe but oh so worth the pennies. Alternatively like bulk said, brok b1s  :drool:

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

I think although the deep dish jobs look good, they have been done to absolute death. I personally have a set of fox racing alloys, best way to describe them is they look like hockenhiem R's, sit pretty nicely, even though its not lowered by much at the moment.

I have thought over long and hard about what wheels are different but would really set my mk2 off, (its atlas grey too)

Was even thinking about entirely black wheels, but photoshoped it, didn't look right, some reason normal alloy seems to look kinda dull and too close the the colour of the car.

I even considered white for a while, but was talked out of it!

I would be tempted by G60 steels, or if i could get them, banded steel wheels, heard they weren't too safe, or an mot failure or something

Personally im a sucker for wheels that take more effort to fit. I think a flat faced wheel in the shiney variety really suit mk2's im not into all these BBS wheels and Brock's n stuff. Here is my top 3 or 4 not in any particular order.

90s look goooood what are the bottom ones are they porker rims to. I also like some of the Audi n
Merk rims that look nothing on the big cars that they were intended for but give em a good polish and they look the business on a golf........ :wink:
