Bloody damn nice. How would the lightness of the wheels affect driveability/handling, if at all?

one of the best things u can do 2 improve the handaling of a car is 2 get the unsprung wait as long as possable!

Yep, lighter wheels means less unsprung weight. That's why I've gone with RA's on my Rocco

These RG-F's are awesome, they'd look great on my car

They are niiiice, anyone got a pic of them on a GTi?

Wonder if I could talk the parents into getting them even though I'm skint. I was wanting a pair of special wheels for the summer but so far I haven't found anything, these might be the ones though

soooooooo tempted but just too narrow....! would love lovely mirror polished

I think a previous member on here, (mfa-polo)had a Lupo GTI with them on. These would look awesome on a fast-road Polo GTI, a rare breed indeed.

They're expensive though. I'd rather get a set of Rota Slipstreams or GT3's for half the price.

Not too expensive I don't think. My RX's were only Â£100 less without tyres

Really nice, should fill out the arches pretty well and still be OEM

These are 16s (with a terrible stance)

Mouse_GTI · Post by **Mouse_GTI** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 2:08 pm

They look mint, and that's without the lowerage. I actually prefer the black centre caps. Ideally 16's would be nice but you can't afford to be fussy with rare wheels.

would ronals be lighter and do u know the weight

I dunno I like the 15s, you could get a better stance with them imo.

If you've got the oppurtunity Mouse grab em!!

My parents aren't buying the idea, so I probably won't be getting them

You can get 16's new in America for around Â£900 plus importation costs so I will probably do that in the future. I never thought about the unsprung weight of the car but now I do I think these wheels are perfect in terms of style and function, plus rarity! Something different to the usual suspects (RM's, Ronal Turbos)

Nice, but for that money I think I'll just stick with my OZs.

4.9Kgs a corner will do for me.

They are a bit tasty though aren't they. Wonder if the seller would swap for some RMs!
