20" on a mk5

[MAT ED30]

they do not look to big 

i think i would only have them on for shows as i think driven hard would fook them

actually my 19" ck's looked like 18's so 20's would probably look like 19's so might not look as big as you think they would

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.

LMs ALWAYS look smaller than they are tho

19s always looks like 18s.

and i would be sorely dissapointed if i bought 18" LMs!

Depends on the style a lot of flat face alloy look an inch bigger than they are.

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)

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

[illyun]

seems odd that he spends nearly 2k on rims and checks after to see if they fit !

I did something similar with the BBS LMs  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

Looks stupid... 

Rather spend your monies on something like this:

I couldn't agree more - Those in the first pic are really bling! The rest, except perhaps the 'gold' ones, are very tasteful and the black R32 (without numberplate) looks particularly mean.
