Having the car incredibly low and running Mercedes wheels are not really related, since when did you have to absolutely slam a car for it to look good? We're just saying to have your options open to what most people do which are the RS4 reps and other OEM wheels which imo are overdone and never looked good in the first place!!!

It's funny, everyone says rs4 reps are overdone, but how many have you actually seen in real life on a golf? I've probably seen one car in Brisbane. Could just be all the pics on the Internet. I think they are a very classy wheel , VRM's ar also good value but depends what the OP is going for.

About 5 cars parked next to each other from GolfMKV.com users from the last Sydney summer cruise. The wheel looks great on silver MKV's I'll be the first to admit that but seeing them on car after car really tires them out...

lol, dont nock it back untill you tried em, yes bags have been around in the u.s but they have been in OZ for almost 2 decades now... just not on VW's

and handling.... with new bag technology on the market these days, the performance has changed heaps, hell! some drift cars in the u.s AND in OZ roll bags over shocks...

bit of useless info for people un educated in airbags

and no i dont think im baller, i just dont want to drive on these ****ty roads slammed and potentially smashing something underneath...... AGAIN!
does that seem like a reasonable excuse to run bags?

That's fair enough, I know bags have been around but thought they were illegal? It's a unique style the US lads seem to like, but poke and too much stretch doesn't sit well with DOT here, fairly illegal but noticed people running them up in Townsville.

So far is seems all the Mercedes rims have been fitted to golfs that are slammed to the ground. Sure says something about lack of taste if fitting some bling 19"+ rims and slamming the car to the ground is seen as an improvement

Cheers for your input guys

My reason for liking R32 or RS4 rims is simple, i like understated class of Volkswagens and Audis. I am not the kind of guy to spend 50k on a brand new car and go out and dump it on some monstrosity 19 inch rims and look like a teenage hoon who does laps of the rocks or brighton le sands on a friday night.

Seriously some people have some poor taste, maybe as a show car, but mine will be a daily driver.

FTR the Merc rims look ok, but not my style.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Seems that some people took the wrong turn and ended up at a VW dealer rather than a Subaru or Nissan one

Maybe the other guys should start a 'Slam & Pimp My Ride' thread.

I'm not even sure if you even have taste in your mouth, let alone for cars Mav.

We're not asking the OP to put Merc rims on his golf just to consider it

Whatever you do mate, I'm pretty sure it'd look good anyway

If your idea of taste is a slammed golf with chrome 20"+ Mercedes rim than I'm not the one with the taste problem

To be honest i think that would look absolutely ace.
I don't see why you shouldn't be able to make your car stand out from the rest.

The OP asked for our opinions on wheels so we gave it to them.
Most people like costomising their car so why not let him.
I know i will be customising mine.

Plus The OP could be the first in Australia to ride on Lorinser blades.

I dont see any 20" chrome wheels in this thread? :S

These are pretty close :
(they must weight heaaaps)

[Corey_R]

I'd put a guess that they're actually larger than 20" - considering that Harding Performance put plenty of 19" Oettinger wheels in their cars, we're know they're definitely not 19's - but they look like they take up considerably more of the wheel arch than a 20" would take. I'd say they're maybe 21" or 22"

You're right, they're probably 22-23" hence my + at the end. This means 20" and greater. Look at the one that G-Rig posted because they're going to up around there.
