what alloys to put on a mk4??
« on: 28 September 2006, 14:40 »
looking at what to get for my silver mk4 in the relm of 18" alloys for around £600ish, maybe a tad more.  I would ideally like sum bbs RC's but can see them costing too much.  I think the RS8 alloys would look a bit over the top.  Just didnt know what wheels any1 else looked good on them and any pics ppl can show me would be great!

cheers

You can get the RC's for 800. How about some R32 wheels?

i think you need the whole R32 kit to make the wheels look good.  seen a couple with just the wheels and they don't look that great IMO :sad:

How about the new look RS4's???  :undecided:

Have a look here for some ideas:

yeh after looking at them i think the chances are it will be some rs4's, or if i could find some anniversary alloys.  Im not a fan of the RS6's and i dont think the RS8's suit a silver car.  What about lowering? still going to look like a moon buggie after 35mm?? i still want to be able to take a car full of people with no grinding thats all.

30 - 35mm drop should be fine.  Any lower and you have to replace the front Anto-roll bar due to clearance issues etc.
