Pics of your car?

What's your budget and are you going for looks or weight saving or both? Don't forget to allow for tyres as well if your changing your current size, 19" tyres will cost you £700 ish alone.

Not a load of choice in your budget unless you use your current tyres or buy a second hand set from a fellow member that comes with tyres.

Beg, borrow or steal an extra £100 and buy these 18" Speedline Turini's in the For Sale section, nowt to do with me, just cracking wheels, look the nuts on ANY Golf. Get in there quick (before i convince my wife i NEED them) as they're £1k new without rubber.
