17's or 18's
« on: 02 October 2006, 12:56 »
I'm looking to get a new set of alloys for my mk3 gti, but don't know which size to go for. Any advice would be helpful, also how much should i lower it by?

Cheers

17's and -40mm looks great.

18's would look extreme i reackon, but whatever floats ya boat. ( no mk3 pun intended  :laugh: )

18's are to big! You would have to go down to 35 profile and that silly!

Stick to 17's and 40 profile.

I saw one the other day on 18"'s and it looked ridiculous, Even a little comical to be honest.

17" all day long IMHO.  Though i live in sheffield like monkeyalan and the roads are horrific and mines lowered 40mm  Its a right pain in the arse(literaly)somedays, especialy if you have a hangover in the morning!! LOL!!
