What size are they? dont suppose you could get them in 17inch.. any pic of them on your car you could put up

KidCapree

nah i've no pics yet, they come in 17 as well.. here's a link to the 17s on PerformanceAlloys.com. I find that website very expensive so i only used it for reference when i was lookin at alloys.

I would go for 18" if the car wasnt 1.4 as for lowering it ya il be doing that alright even tho i already had a hit with the front splitter which took off paint.. It cant been seen tho thank god, Im going to get coil overs to lower it.. Any one know any place on the net good at selling back boxes??

If you fork out for decent 18" alloys like BBS or an OEM alloy i.e original R32s not reps then the will be as light as a lesser set of 17" alloys.something to bare in mind,also if you look after them then the will hold there value.so you could sell them independently to the car when you decide to change it.

Looks well, fair play. You should try and get the GTI rear lenses, look so much better IMO

Cheers, ya must look into gettin a pair of them

tossy

Forget about pricing them overhere go to the UK or even as far as ebay.de and you will savw alot.

I wouldnt go near GTI lenses either common as... get some euro spec rears R/C/R/R or USA R32 rears R/S/R/R even get some of the pdated GTI rears from hella which ive never seen over here.

KidCapree

yeah looks well lad. Fair play again as well for fitting urself. Stay away from the GTI rear lights. Get the R32 ones off ebay or somewhere, they look savage on red golfs. Here's a pic.



As for alloys, stay away from the BBS LM's... i have them, they'd be too nice for u! :p
