FASTDUB Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Mark2Ikedas car looks the best on 17's - If you don't get the rim and tyre combo right then it simply don't work. The Juxta position seems to work quite well also (i.e alternative colour inner/caps to Loops body colour - All in favour say I).Still think 8J 15's are the best bet - Don't compromise chassis dynamics to much and still make the Loop look great - at least this way there's enough rubber being put down to give you proper traction, no scrubbing and less potential rim or curb damage (That is if you're a sh** driver!).For shows 17's do provide that instant wow but as said in the thread earlier do look a little tractorish and possibly if rim choice is dubious belong in the ministry of silly wheels.

Guest cream2cream Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 When I first bought my Gti I knew I had to have 17's. Ran them for over 4 years and 65,000 miles but they spoilt the handling (they were heavy and overwhelmed the dampers due to the unsprung weight) and I just could not get the car as low as I wanted. eventually I sold them and got some 16's which improved the car's handling immensely and I felt they car just looke so much better.Those Lorinser's bad boys look ace on Phil's Gti, if only it was for real with tyres.mate how did u get the car to glow so much? mines same colour and always wax it but looks nothing like ur's unless u modified the pictures?someone mentioned buffing the paintwork with a sander and some compound stuff, u done that?
