i think they look too small the golf has big arches and needs big rims to fill them although i cant afford any wheels yet but its down to your own personal preference at the end of the day but remember bigger wheels  equals a lighter wallet when the tyres need changing

Personally I say 18" Rims look the business. I'm literally holding myself back from putting a set on my mk4 as I want to keep it standard and boring.

if you get 17s youl only wish youd gone bigger. a mates dad had a 1.8t with some awesome 19s on it that looked stunning.

given the choice, spend the extra and get the 18s!

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

the cost of tyres varies quite alot, but out of curiosity i checked when i first got my 18's and it was roughly £120 per corner....but that was 6mths ago and they were for Avons low profiles.
the cost might have come down abit now (but i doubt it)

it really is worth the look though (in my opinion)

on mk4's the arches are just so big!!!!

When I priced mine up they ranged from £90 to £180 depending on quality.  I agree with above tho, for a good all round tyre £120 a corner would be good :wink:
