Are you looking purely for looks or is handling an element you also wish to consider?

What kind of budget are we looking at?

I had BBS CH black editions on mine at 19". They looked the business, but for me...I wanted something that gave me a better handling feel, so went down in rim size. :smiley:

I'm going for the looks mainly but I don't want to compromise my ride. Plus I don't want to squint ever time I go over a bump and scrub the alloys.

Budget wise...I have no idea.  Want to see the options and what they cost and go from there (if that makes sense).

If I looked at the right ones the VWR 19" are £1000 without rubber.

How much are the 19 BBS CH Blacks?

It's a lot of dough!

Im running Helios 19's from the Phaeton, probably the real reason I like them the best is the fact that they are very rare, you could go to Edition 38 and not see another golf with them on.

They haven't really affected the ride/handling much and pop up on ebay.de for around 1300 euros without tyres. You could defo do better for ride and handling purposes but they suit me as my car isn't even mapped!!! :sad1:
