Hmm I'm not convinced, not by that photo anyway.
Tyres look quite chunky.

was expecting it to look better, but i think the tyres make the wheels look smaller, i think you need some 165's

Teledials always look smaller then they already are because of the lip. So getting thinner profile tyres along with a slight stretch helps it. I think the RXII's look better then them though. Think there's a set of D90's on sale by 'Dublife' over at Dub-London.

I think you need 165/50s to pull them off. And to be very very low

They're not too bad to be honest, but is it me? or does that first picture with the rear wheel look abit...'egg shaped'?

Cant get it any lower becoz the driveshaft on the driver side is hitting the chassis !

Sorry mate, I have to agree with the above comments. I don't like them on the GTi!
The wheels themselves look quite good though, tidy job.
Cheers
