So you want to ruin a car you've not yet bought?

Seriously, I dread to think what the acceleration and handling will be like with wheels that big?

22 is way too big! The mk5 can take 20 alright, but it's a bit tight.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

How much are tyres for 20/21/22 inch rims? I dread to think.
