where are you guys getting them from?
Rimstyle or PW?
would you recommend a 225 or a 235/35/R19 for a mk5 guys?
prices seem to vary between these sizes depending on manufacturer. Falken little difference, £10 difference for a goodyear, £35 for a vreidstein.

rimstyle for me

Great choice Ian, just needs some H&R's now :wink:

i'm gunna say it...youre gunna hate me for it... but i'm gunna say it anyway... :ashamed:
..Love the colour of the rims, but the mirrors seem, well... floating out there on their own :chicken:
its a personal thing i guess but for the amount of black around the window and the frame area they kinda stick out the same as the polished versions did for me, it would have to be red or black... probably black, but your car your tastes :happy2: :smiley:
of course this is merely my opinion.. please dont slap me in the face... i'm too pretty :grin:

when i got the mirror covers they were gloss black , i tried them and was ny too impressed , since having them painted and getting my new wheels , i love em , the colour is a perfect match to bbs anthracite . lots of guys liked them on sunday so its not just me :laugh: . still want to get the decals done too
