Stop being such a tart, mk1's rule ok. Infact the mk1 is probably the only golf worthy of being classed as a performance vehicle. Mk2's are plop, mk3's are worse, mk4's were only saved due to the fact they installed a decent tunable engine in the fucker, mk5's same as mk'4.
Golfs are like cossies they get worse as they get newer

Love the Euro Look..
But then being into Classic Fords, Chubby 13's give me the horn anyway...
Something nice about a standard looking car, just lowered with deep dish wheel....
Certainly better than a Cossie on 19's looking like some sort of fookin Moon Buggy thats for sure

yours is about up to your kids knee, that aint on the floor, and your on 18s aint you?
euros a lot more than just lowering a car tho.
anyhow, if gregs got any sense he can snap these up quickly, not often see these or anything decent in 5x100...
8x17 and 9x17, time to get my arch flarer out...

I do like the Euro look especially on older Golfs.....its summat different than the normal bodykit things....remember 'if you aint rubbin you aint dubbin'! LOL!
I also think that Escort looks awesome with those Euro rims on...fair play for having the bollocks to do summat a little different on a Ford!!!
As for stretched tyres.....check these fookers out......how they seal I'll never know.....

as long as you handy with the bead blaster you can get em to seal ok most times.
i got 195s on a 10inch wide rim no bother.
its when you try and do it with mega low profile it gets dodgy as you got no sidewall, so no stretch, so you fucked.
these worked jus fine, not had a problem yet

imagine a big tank with a nozzle on it.
close the nozzle handle, fill the tank with an airline to 250psi or so, put the end of the nozzle to the tyre edge (as you can easy get the tyre on the wheel, just no chance of getting it over the bead), put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and hope for the best, and pull the lever.
WHUMP
tyre edge is over the bead, and you probably deaf (or if you unlucky it didnt work and maybe something just hit you in the face ) then its just a case of putting the airline on the tyre and putting a load of pressure in it, should pop on properly from there.
can do it a pikey way with aerosol cans, ill see if i can find a vid to show you...

here we go, the "special" way of doing it...
this probably worth a thread on its own actually, as doubt many people have seen this before...
behond, my mate mike fitting 215s to a 10x16 in a very cool/special/pikey way...
