I Need everyones opinion on what wheels to fit to my gt.........
i currently have the first two, but would need to buy some 14" steels.
13" bbs's
14" p-slots (had a buyer whos pulled out so not sold anymore)
14" steels
13" original gt steels
[bbs's need spraying-p-slots need refurbing]

i reckon the 13" bbs's look a bit small! personally i am going to go for 15" bbs's when i get a G40! they'll look da nuts!

the bbs's i have are bare at the moment. they would need spraying/polishing
they are not the same as g40 ones, mine are 6" wide instead of the g40 5.5"

Giime those P-slots as you call them
That are the Pirelli 6x14"wheels, orginaly made for the Golf mk1 Pirelli edition:

i think mine came off a mk2 golf. they have the larger gap between the p's.

yup, they aint mk1 wheels, as said the gap between the p's are too big. them be the same as mine off a mk2 golf.
I personally prefer the bbs. I'd be running bbs if someone had sold me some for the same money as the p's at the time...

I think 14" steels would look pretty right. Powder coated in a dark silver / charcoal metallic and I think they would suit the car nicely.

BBS.
Either in silver, or hochglanzverdichtet (think: blindingly bright chrome).

Pirelli P Slots look wicked, especially polished, but it'd be a shame if everyone started running them as they'd lose their individuality.
I reckon go for the steelies, I nearly did once, and I was gonna go for something a bit special which I've never seen on a Polo before.
Money is a b***h.
