Looks like I'll be digging into my overdraft - alloy time!

[Shady Pioneer]

I want to upgrade from the standard alloys I've got, and go for these..I think...I really like the look of them and think they would suit the MK3 brilliantly, but what do you guys think?

I'm gonna go for 17s if I do.

17's look too  big on mk3's,

u should get 16's they look the best

I Disagree not when its lowered.

Won't fit as I've got a 4 stud car 

What size are yours? I won't be lowing the car anytime soon...so do we think 16s would look better?

[RiCHiE360]

Id lower it before fitting any wheels to be honest..

A standard car lowered looks better than one with bigger wheels thats ridin like a 4x4

Slam yours on coilovers and it will looks pretty sweet

But the insurance...

Mine are 17" dude but im lowered 35mm so they look nicer in the arches. I guess the car may look a little high with big wheels otherwise.



I was only joking about the original GTI wheels it was just a shameless plug as im trying to sell em But is there not some way of converting to the 5 stud fitment?

Runni upragted/bigger alloys will be no different than running suspension if your tellin the insurane company surely

[Shady Pioneer]

Yeah there is, but I can't be bothered with all that hassle lol!

I just wanna get the car lowered and some 16s on or something, but the insurance will be a b!tch I know, I'm waiting for them to get back to me on how much it'll cost my insurance if I put aftermarket alloys on in the first place.
