Borbet or ATS usually have a fair bit of dish without stumping your wallet.

ATS Classics or cups (13") look awesome on any decked 6N/6N2 and are around £400 with tyres

the cheaper alternative is to "band" your steel wheels, usually around £300 - you can get hench dish on your standard steelies.

make sure you get plenty of stretch though ;)

banded steels mean no winter rims either plus they look soo good if you make the right choice.

Not sure if you'd get 13" wheels to clear the front brakes on a GTi.

Yeh I'd stick to 15"s, only go 14 if they're really wide

One of my fave GTI's :D

Would look better polished mind you :P

Steffan BCW's are a timeless wheel! You really cant go wrong with them, just keep your eyes peeled....sets do pop up pretty often!
