I got 18's but i think 17's look fine :cool:.  Ivor is right in saying that the santa monicas are cool too(Sold a set last year). If you are buying S3 wheels then they will need to be replica's as Audi has a different stud pattern to VW :undecided:

 :smiley:I have 17's and think they look the cool. They dont compromise too much with the ride comfort either. :evil: 18's look even better though in my opinion. Cant afford the rubber though.

audi s3 and the a3 range alloys will fit the mk4 golf no probs..!!!! i has s3 rims on mine and they were a straight fit as pcd and off set the same.....

tis only the bigger audis that you need replicas for as the pcd is bigger....

ive got rid of my mk4 now but i havent forgot the basic 'i know what i know stuff'...........

A3, TT, all fine - they are Golfs really anyway.
Its the A4, A6 and Passatt that have diff stud patterns.

17s look alright in my opinion.  I got me some audi TT avus 225/45/17s a couple of yrs back.  Good comprimise between looks and comfort (?)
