Are they bigger than the ones youve got at the moment?

To be honest mate, i reckon the ones youve got at the mo' look better, theve got more character, the others look a bit like typical audi style wheels.

Get yourself some 17"s jon

be part of the kru !

haha

can someone explain to me what exactly the offset means?

im such a thickie i know, but im assuming its the something to do with how far the wheel sticks out ?

or have i just proved my thickness?

btw, i think your tooras look better than the OEM.

get some 16s with 195/40/16 and they wont rub.

i would like to get smaller wheels carmadaaron but the only wheels i would get are those PHAT ASS Ronel Turbo's, there the best 15" wheels ive ever seen.

The problem is though, ive had so many good comments about my wheels, i dont know if i could go back to smaller wheelz.

Having 17" on such a small car is da nutz !

smaller wheels look cool but remem if u go low, itll scrub and bits of rubber will fly off!

haha carmadaaron, ive still got my Standard 16v GTI wheels for the winter.

Might throw them on for a while just to get some economy out of me motor, the 17"s rinse your fuel !!!!!

Also gonna console myself with the BMC CDA Air filter though this week. I know i said i wasnt gonna spend but. . .

SOD IT !

your only young once right?

the lower the et (offset) the more the wheels stick out from the hub. vw's generally have a standard offset of 35-38.
