Wheel inspiration

[Brad_ED30]

What wheels are people running?
I’ve currently got pescaras on my ed30 but looking for some inspiration
Post pictures of what you’ve got!!

There isn't anything better for an ED30 imo, the Pescera is a massive part of it's identity.

Can't agree with that. You have the BBS VZ with the same design but a bit wider size (8'' vs 7,5'') and better ET (ET44 vs ET51).

Hmmmmm, 8" might look a bit better actually.   Do the VW centre caps fit the VZ?  Is the 9mm offset difference 9mm further out, or 4.5mm inboard + 4.5mm outboard?

VZ are et44.

So you'll get the half inch extra width (6 and a bit mm either side of centre) and 7mm offset.

Therefore there'll be about 13mm more poke.

Ah OK, thanks mate.  Sod that then, in that case 

I don't like messing with the factory scrub radius.

The BBS VZ come from factory fitted in the Audi A3 which shares the same suspension parts with the Golf. I wouldn't worry about it. I run 8'' wide wheels with ET45 and can't complain, only praise the improvement.

Thanks for the correction. My memory failed me.

These are what I run .... a great looking wheel with the perfect offset for the golf and at around £650 new a bargain too !
