hey brad we have the same car grey gti mk2 8v??? or is yours 16v. mines not so tidy on the outside and its a bit pants being a five door but that doesnt bother me (how about you?) . how much have you lowered your golf brad?

if i had a set of 14" deep dish alloys lowered it into the abiss do you think a would get the  :tongue:taken out of me??

ps nice car slick effect fancy a swap? hehe  

 

Nah it's an 8v mate. Wouldn't want to be ragging it everywhere like a valver (Only joking you 16v ppl) And what's all this "pants being a 5 door" business all about? Everyone knows they're the best kind. At the end of the day it's what you like. I'm not a big fan of huge wheels (I know I'm running 17's, but these are about the only one's I like!) and I'm not keen on cars being on the belly either (speed bumps you know?).

In fact if I didn't have these wheels I'd probably be still on my BBS. Still might on day...

Whatever you go for will be cool, and no one on here will rip you for it. Not seriously anyway. Or at least not to your face....

nah, dont worry, was started a good few days ago.

yeah theyre good lookers, same colour as yours too right? Personally i prefer the first one but im not a major fan of ats cups anyway. Theres lots of lovely wheels out there but bbs, borbet a's, design 90s and ats cups seem to be gettin more and more common. Its up to you how ambitious you wana be as to wether you try somethin a litle different.

mine's on 17's with a 60mm drop with major arch work and it still rubs like f**k! No G60 arches yet!

I think about going back to 15's until I see my reflection in a shop window or see someone else driving my car and it looks the bollocks.

Brad this is purely my opinion, but I think your's seriously needs lowering. scared cat comes to mind.

mk2's are defiently slower on 17's it's a fact. But then again I think they look better. Slammed mk2's on 15's look awesome too!

[Brads MK2 GTI]

Yeah, fully in agreement about getting it lowered. Am thinking of a 40mm drop, I don't think I'll get any more without arch work, and I don't like em too low!

My golf is lowered 60ml and on 17's

No scrubbage or arch work played with
