Default would these rims suit a Mk3 Golf GTi?



They would be 15's with 195 tyres and my car is already low

I think they look ALOT like the more expensive BBS ones

No IMO.


I see some nice Ronals today, BBS look-alikes. They'd be better...

Utter doshit fox halfords wank.

Esp as no doubt they will be something homo like 7in wide.

15s only look good if the wheels are wide and cool, not shit like that. theyd look best at 17/18, and theyd still be shit.

No they look wank and cheap.

Get yourself on Edition38 and get a proper set of wheels from the classified.

There are a very nice set of RH Cups with good tyres for £350 decent dish and black centres.

ATS Cups look shat IMO.

ATS Classics are cool tho.

Prob not on a Mk3 tho.

Whats a Mk3 Golf GTI PCD? 5x100?

IMO id not fag it up with Halfords-spec rims, and id just as unlikely jump on the non imagination bandwagon with some RH/Ronal/ATS that everyones got on their VWs either.

450 for these, 5x100, 9.5x17-


250 notes for these lairy 7.5x17 Advans-


And so on, tons of 5x100s around (IF it is 5x100 )

They look cool, dunno if they are a straight fit though...probably are.

I'd be very careful in buying anything blingy in a 15" rim, as more often than not they look gay.

I wouldnt have bought them for Halfrauds with the shitty 50profile tyres they stick on, id have got some 45 Toyo's or something, and the car sits low enough for 15s so i thought they would look good, but clearly i was wrong

Like i said ill have a look round
