New wheels any recommendations ??

[gobbleplease]

Im looking for some new rims, im set on black ! ive been looking at wheel gallerys for the last couple of days and ive found a few i like but none i really love, i am set on et 45s and must be 18"ers.

Im quite liking the black CHs with red centre caps, i also fancy the Black pro race 1.2s but ive yet too see black on a black gti so im not sure how they would look i also think they seem to look quite small on the GTI, love the OZ ultraleggas too but i think they are a bit expensive ? What do ya think, any others ?

also i was wondering if anyone had any problems running et 45 on a lowerd gti. Any rubbing ?

the wheels will be going on this

45 offset is fine on a 8 inch wheel, if you go 8.5 then you will have some issues.  

Whats your budget for the wheels and what are you looking for. Ie do you want some light weight ones for extra handling or is it just for looks.

i really want the right wheels TBH, so ive not got a budget so to speak........ I like the ultraleggas but i dont like them so much id spend over a grand on them, thats not to say i wouldnt spend over a grand for the right wheels, they would need to be awesome for me to spend that though.

I dont want anything to heavy and i like the idea of lightweight wheels, but i really want them to look right too.

So there shouldnt be any rubbing issues on 8x18" wheels with an offset of 45 on a gti that has been lowerd about 25mm ?

Cheers

That spec is fine, just got to make sure they clear your brakes, though i cant see that being a issue with your set up.

What about some gloss black Turini's lightweight and stylish as well.

Actually I forgot about them, yea love them there was a silver set in the fs section not that long ago although they were et 42s in silver. Good shout buy the way, what sort of dosh are they new mate.

Thats only 3 mil difference.    measure that out between your finger and thumb.    I would say on a lowered car 42et would be preferential.

If you havn't really got a budget in mind then how about some Rotiform BLQ's

Not sure if they do an 18" though..........
