Hmmm.... Very nice robin, just wish they were 16 inch, and wish i could speak german ahahahahaha

Golden rule is 15's on a mk1, 16's on a mk2, 17's on a mk3 etc etc

205/40/17 would look hot. The car is gonna be/already lowered right?

Hey guys, don't know if youse have been to this site before:

http://www.dubmodder.com/

A flash site that lets you mod the appearance all the Golf cars. A great little thing to use if you want to see how some particular rims look, + lowered to the ****s It's all rice, but go crazy No Golfs will be harmed in the process.

Yeah robin, once i get the wheels im gonna drop it 30 mils. I've been to the RTA, and checked, i need an engineer's cert for 17's, but they do look sweet on a mk3...

[golf3]

engineers certificate?
says who? RTA or insurance??

in victoria you're allowed unlimited increase in diameter, only 2" increase in width...

Cops get a bit defect happy up here on rims. OFICIALLY, if in NSW and you fit wheels not specified on the tyre placard, you can be defected for "Fitment of non-standard rim/tyre sizing" which can be avoided with a ($200!!!) engineers cert...

you are the real criminals; it is an offense and you will be charged for it

lol thats the first thing i thought of...

there is reasons for these laws, if a car says it can only handle a specific size wheel, the manufacturers have obviously done it for a reason, it gets to a point where wheels get too big and performance gets lacking... plus anything bigger than 17" on a golf is just getting rediculous.

but we arent ricers here and we dont put anything over 17inches on mk's 1-3
18's look great on mk4's and 19's look great on mk5's in my opinion

[Golf Loon]

Show me where you can get an engineers cert for $200 bro. Try $600+

That's not entirely correct. You can go 15mm overall diameter larger.
I have heard of a blue slip mechanic knocking back Golf 1s with 14" wheels but it is just BS! (Get another tyre placard)

lol, i work in flemington and you should see some of the car the guys here have...

ur definately right though... nothing over 17" on mk 1-3. i think i'm going to stick to 16"s though.

[GoLfMan]

16's are a great happy medium they look shmick on mk's 1-3
