View Full Version : Not Nova, but mk4 Golf alloys.....
http://www.street-legal.biz/board/images/smilies/biggrin.gif need to get some new alloys for the misses mk4 golf. Once upon-a-time they looked like this.... all shiney and new........18" rs8 style.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j247/MATTYGREEN/DSC00782.jpg
Now everyone of them has been kerbed http://www.street-legal.biz/board/images/smilies/doh.gif and very badly, bloody women drivers http://www.street-legal.biz/board/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
Anyway was thinking about some r32 style alloys??
mk4 stlye.....

or maybe mk5 style....

I do still like the rs8 style, but the wheel sits proud of the tyre, so they if I got another set I bet they wont last 5 mins...

Any thoughts, or other ideas?? http://www.street-legal.biz/board/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

mk4s for me. my mate had the turbo one of these. stage 3 tuned. Was uber quick. Spat flames every time he backed of the throttle!!

They are pretty bad mate. All 4 are kerbed all the way round - will take some pics at weekend. Plan is to buy some new wheels, they stick these on ebay.
I do like the bbs alloys, but not sure I want to spend that much, as i'm sure they will end up getting kerbed again :cry:lol
Get a new woman, its cheaper. One that can park lol

What price you got in mind and what rubber is on them? I'm going off to bahrain on sunday, if you could get pics before hand that would be grand! :)
I love the wheels, so depending whether or not i could refurb them.
Cheers

I was thinking of getting a mk4 golf and narrwed it down to 2 wheel choices personally...
- RS6 5 Spoke wheels (look a little more classy and almost factory)
- Porsche turbo rims

Personally keep the original wheels and get a refurb, or put steelies back on if she's that bad at curb slapping lol
These look nice from a GTI concept car :confused:.

Deep dish look awesome on mk4s but do cost ££££s for nice ones.
Your other option is not to refurb/change the wheels and get coilovers instead :thumb:
bbs lemans replica's arent that expensive.
8x18 is 599 euro, new! without tyres ofcourse.

A set of these maybe? The ones that The Simps posted look good aswell, rs6 alloys.
/\ rs4's? yeah they look good on mk4's imo too.

Yep, rs4's. You can pic rep sets up quite cheaply too!
Have a look on edition38 for ideas. Some very nice cars on there.

These are the ones I said on page one very good choice and only 500 quid with tyres and personally I think rs6's only look good in 19's and genuine Audi, the replicas have been done to death
Cheers for all the different ideas :D have just bought a set of these :D genuine mk4 gti anniversary alloys finished in liquid anthracite. Collecting them tomorrow and will be sorting some tyres early next week, hope you like :D
