20" on a mk5

Those BBS CK's look really nice and I think their design would suit your GTI better than the ones you've got now, Joe. BUT....the ride might be a bit harsh. Being the colour they are, you'd getaway with the 20" size I reckon but usually 20's would look OTT on a Mk5. (IMO)

its not so much the look for me, as 20's are always going to look big on a hot hatch, its the ride. id have to drive one with 20"s before i baught some.

i wouldn't do it personally

Its odd you say 19's look like 18's but the face of them are usually around 20" due to the lip.
Also 19's look like 18's until you see them side by side - depending on wheel style.
I wouldnt go more than a 19" rim on the Mk5

I did something similar with the BBS LMs :ashamed: :embarrassed: Bought them on ebay for £1270 and then was told by forum members that they wouldn't fit. Still honoured the sale though and sold them to an Audi TT fanatic in Finland for £1500 :evilgrin:
