what I think he is getting at is that the bigger the wheel the slower the acceleration will be (in theory)

wheels look cracking though mate!

Once this is low it'll look great....nice wheels...the only thing that I'll say would set them apart would be if the lips were polished..!!  :happy2:

It's just about the looks and at the expense of performance here.  Sorry, but just voicing my opinion as I believe you should not detract from the performance of a car just to make it look better.

All mods, mechanical or cosmetic should not be to the detriment of the cars standard format. 
i better take all my mods of then :grin:

Remember this is a public forum, so everyone has the right to express their opinion whether it strokes your ego or not.  Your whole argument about only saying something good on this thread holds no water.

What makes a forum good are the two sides of debate coming together, and don't always expect to hear what you want.

Just went for some fk ak street, cheap nd cheerful but will do the job and give a decent drop so will look alot better

Just look at your post, it clearly shows that you want to just lower your car so it LOOKS good. Cheap and cheerful ain't gonna compliment the handling characteristics of a GTI very much.
