wheels?
« on: 22 May 2008, 21:38 »
Hi Guys,

I pick up my 1.8 T GTI on sunday, already thinking about wheels... just wondered what people think looks good on a black mk4 gti? I'm liking the 18" R32 style wheels? But I'm used to styling a mk1 so new to mk4's so could do with some opinions!

Cheers,

Gem

Hey Gem, welcome to MK4 land! Must have been hard work looking after a MK1, she's a beauty though! New style R32's look quite nice on the mk4's IMO:


i'm a big of the anni's too:

Or the new style RS4's:

sounds good, any idea on cost? I have no idea! What sort of tyres? Low profile?
