    Default Whats wheels???

    BBS CH's 17x8 5x100 (if i can find some!)


    Lenso type M's 17x7 (gay size i know)


    Advanti Demon 17x7+1/2


    I do not have the money to buy these now...but i will be buying them in the next 6 months and i want some ideas and input!!!

    I don't really want to spend much more than $1200 on the rims...tyres will be another story!

    I want to go lowwww so i'm not worried about getting wide rims.

    If you think of any other wheels please post up

    BBS.
    Multi pattern fitment wheels are dodgy and have caused problems for some owners.
    BBS's are made for euro type cars so they shouldn't cause any problems.

    The lenso's don't cave as much as they look to in the shots.
    You could check out the tempetyres VW gallery to see if any of these are on car's there.
    Or google the wheels and your car type to see if anyone else has them.


    I would have a look on ebay or http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resul...6&autoModClar= for some alternatives.

    The BBS are much classier, but will come at a cost. if you go that direction, try importing from Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels and have a look there for a huge range also.

    also try :

    BBS.

    Looks way classier. I actually prefer them in 17s on the Mk3 compared to 18 or 19 on a mk5 etc....

    Another for the BBS. The Lenso's are pretty basic and likely quite a lot heavier.

    When you are ready, put up a post, I might be up for a set also...
