Which alloys
« on: 02 March 2006, 13:14 »
Hi id be looking to put 17s on the mk4 so what do you think of these options;

RS4's
Polished RS4's
BBS RC's
RS6's
or Santa Monica's

Reason being for 17s and not 18s is that i dont want anything to expensive to buy or have to buy tyres for in the future and for better ride comfort.

I know that I have said this before, but beware of dodgy laquer on Santa Mon's.

Check out the pic below of a set that i had, only 7 months old so VW gave me a refund on them.



and this is one of the better ones :angry:

And those are VW ones, imagine what replicas might be like.

Watch out though mate.  Decent tyres still aint cheap on 17"s.  I replaced all 4 tyres with Michelin 225/45/17's recently and it cost me over £400 (and that was on a buy 3 get 1 free offer!!!)

I know what you mean tyres are expensive no matter what size but you can get some 17s from £45 each but 18s are at least £68.
scott 1.8t are those 18s or 19s?

They're 18s mate.  225/40/18 Michelins, fortunately they're all nearly new.  Not looking forward to changing them!
