Very good Ollie, don't think the little brother will be too impressed with the 10'' wheels though!! :smiley: Still trying to convince him to take the rims from my ED30, think it will look better with a set of 18'' Monzas

What colour car have you got?

If you have a black, white, steel grey or reflex silver then I'd get some deep dish multi-spoke black alloys with stainless rims

if you have a different colour to the ones already named above then I would stick with a silvered alloy, but still go for deep dish, multi-spokes.

I also agree with Ollieb7 in that if you get 17's you WILL want 18's.

There is so much choice out there it is really difficult to recommend a certain style over another. All I can really say is go to a shop that sells them and has them on display before committing, or go to a VW show and look at the styles on show :cool:

Hatrick, whichever type you choose, make sure you get the offset correct, and try to keep the rolling radius the same as the standard, otherwise you will affect the speedo.

And if you've got 18's you'll want 19's
And if you've got 19's you'll want ......... shooting as you'll be a pimp that likes rap music based on the musical Annie and you'll have a soft spot for spinners! :smiley:
