Title: Help Me Decide
Post by: shaunnorris7 on May 12, 2016, 08:45:03 pm

Fancy getting air ride, been quoted happy but not booked it in yet.

Currently sitting on 19" Helio's ET45 which I love but they sit flush with the arches..

So if I get air I'd need to roll/flair arches

But my other wheels, 18" sit inside and generally feel better on the car..

So I'd like to know what other people would do as I'm debating on just selling the Helio's. I think the 18's would look better and I wouldn't need any arch work doing. Plus the money from the Helio's should pay for nearly half of the air ride.

Decisions decisions  :thinking:

Personally never been a particular fan of the Helios, and everyone's had them now so not something that would stand out for me.

Personally I'd go with the 18s or sell the Helios and 18s and get something new and unique that not many people are running.

I would say the same as Adam

Helios are marmite wheels, but I really like them.

I never ran 19"s on my MK5, but personally - I think they look rad AF while also classy. Keep em' if you like them, being a bit different without standing out for the wrong reasons  :drinking: :happy2:

Thought about an edition 30 splitter? One of my favourite ever mods on my old steel grey GTI so I know it'll look the doggies on yours too :party:

I bought an ED30 front bumper ages go, (pic in my thread) and its at the body shop as we speak. Got my car booked in on the 23rd to get it fitted and some other work done  :happy2:
