rst's alloys from a series 2 suit mk4 models best so either OE silver or white works on cabbys

Yeah it's not a cabby but don't really want it to look like every other mk4 an not sure gloss black is a good option either white could work but I no I'll be cleaning them every other day lol

Are you wanting to stick with OE Ford stuff? And what's your budget?

Now that would be different, could work if it was lowered a substantial amount.

Slot Mags are totally the wrong period. Would look a bit garage clear out pikey special.

Slab sided 5 spokes look good on a mk4. Something like Azev A's. Also spoked rims

Wrong rolling radius, requires running on the bump stops and going down the euro route scene. That pulls it off due to the fact the rims are so wide they don't even look like Slot mags. An acquired taste...

Example of the ''sensible'' bolt on slot mag look: imo looks shit on a mk4. Far nicer options
