Would 16's look crap on my GTI?
« on: June 14, 2010, 08:32:32 pm »
Hi guys, been after a set of BBS RS, or similar alloys for a while now, but nothing is coming up lately.
The closest set I have seen are these:

Problem being that htey only do 16s.
Would this look gash on my MK5, or can anone reccomend some nicer wheels, that are similar to these please?
Thanks.

17's look too small so I'd say 16's would look silly sorry

That seems to be the fashionable mod on the continent, seen a lot of Golfs from Belgium running on 14"s..............look nasty imo, bigger is better!  :happy2:

I'd steer clear of those lenso's they look silly cheap when next to some rs's! There's a set of blue 17" rs's on eBay that look nice! Dan's also running a set exactly the same.

How much you want to spend?


If you need any games consoles or games, accessories, etc etc, PM me for my best price,

Had not spotted them Joe, but not keen on the colour TBH, so that would set me back a couple hundred to sort out, and then a couple hundred more for the centres, would spend up to £1k really,

@ Al: The 16" Polo GTI Alloys would fit on a GTI - they're even the same design.

Those 16" and loooooooooooowwwwwww was one option I was looking at...? although I keep thinking 19", instead... :evilgrin:
