...........i'm the other way i go for looks & style.My car came with the 17'' Monza alloys which look a bit small on the golf to me.Wanted to keep it o.e. look & was tempted to get a set of bbs ch replica but in the end was offered a set of edition 30 alloys in fact they were orginally on Hurdys edition 30 so got these on now.
J5BWS:
Thanks for all your help guys, definitely given me something to think about compared to my original plans of 18 or even 19" blingsters!
J5BWS:
What do you reckon to these:
17x8
With these:
in 235/45/17?
The tyres are Michelin Sport PS2 which I've heard good things about, I love driving in the wet so I know I'd hate the Toyo R888's and would prefer a better all rounder...
Good setup?

Actually on looking deeper into this, I'm not sure that the wheels are available in the correct offsets??...
Hurdy:
That would be an awesome set up :happy2:
You would be laughing yourself silly at the difference the alloys and tyres make to your handling, grip, accelleration etc etc. :drinking:
