need new rims but which ones HELP
« on: 24 May 2004, 09:29 »
After a long debate ive decided to keep my motor and im more than happy with it!

anyways i want some new rims on it.... now im gonna go no bigger than 15's as i dont want to mess with my mk2's handling

suggestions please any pics of 15's on your car also greatly appreciated!

oh bbs RM or RS would be great but tooooooo much cash for me!

a pic of your car would help, Then you we could choose the style from the styling of your golf.

Example = My golf + Chunky looking lip kit = OZ hydras which are chunky 5 spokes.

Well, I could recomend some multispokes, If you want some light waight multispokes try OZ turismos, There expencive, But will give you a huge performance benifit due to them being very light.

However if your on a budget, Some chunky TSW 5 spokes would look nice, Im guessing your after a more subtle look so i wold recomend somthing a little less expencive than the OZs if thats the case,

Have you tryed going to halfords and looking there? Thats where i sourced most of my insporation  ;D

what about the Ronal multispokes?

cant find the dubmeister link now but the package was around ?555 with tyres, looked similar to BBS's
