I think either looked just as good, some nice big brakes would look even better though

Hi there ,


looks nice these new rims.

Here some pics of my old XR3I from Holland. We never had the GTI over here the one which comes closest to the looks and engine is the F1 edition, but they where only delivered in blue :-s
So i created my own look-a-like English GTI




cheers from Holland

Thats low.
Had mine on coilovers before on 17's, lowered about the same, driveshafts joints started humming after long due to angles. No cure, just raised them up again.
Hope yours are ok.

Looks well though.
