Just would like a few pointers in what to do ??thanks for the comment, as silver! said there passat/mk3 golf steelies there not a lot of money to get hold off and with the centre caps and a low profile tyre can look really good like Adam R4 arosa check his thread http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=75134&st=780 or there are a lot of other steelies that can look really good like G60 steels or even banded steels, as for color you can go black or siver like i have to keep a Oem look or go with a nice bright color to standed out ive seen my steels paint a lighter blue than the blue lupo on a blue lupo and it looked really good but check out http://rollinonsteelies.com/blog/ for some ideasas for coilovers ive got the JOM coilovers which cos me 18o pound and are great for the money and go really low but the lower you go the worse the ride gets its not that bad just bouncy but when there as cheap as they are you cant conplainhope this helpsscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the coilovers it will handle better but if you go really low then it will still handle a Bit crap just shouldn't slide out and yer the still do look great a little bit of stretch depending on there width, mine are 6" wid and with a 165-50 tyre or a 155-50 tyre you get a small stretch and it looks really good IMO Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
