What rims

[burn_your_money]

Here are some pics of some rims I am interested in. Do you think it would be best to wait for me to finish my car before deciding what rims look best or decide now?
Here's my car

Also, 14s, 15s or 16s?

I guess I am going to lower the car, I havent fully decided my plans for it yet.

[jettadude]

either 1 or 3 and get 16"

[twig]

definitely lower and put 16s of option 3

[Mortal_Wombat]

i personally like 15's and our cars handle better with them sense our suspension was build for low unsprung weight
out of all those option 1 is the best.

[GoodDayForADrive]

I say 3, 16"

Personally, the way my car is now I think number 3 is the best. However, when you take into condieration of what I want to do with my car, I think number 2 might be the best.
For those of you who don't know, i want to paint EVERYTHING that is black on the car now, white, and get a high gloss deep red. I'll have mk3 style tails, and all my side markers etc will either be clear or red. I think I might keep the small bumpers and paint them white, or if I can get some white A3 bumpers on it. I also want a white sun deflector thing on the top of my windsheild to be white to sort of tie everything together.
Does that change any of your opinions on which rims?

[Mortal_Wombat]

white on red....its gonna look horrid. :)
*rambles on about 16" rims and painted trim*

[sausageburner]

definitely lower and put 16s of option 3

agreed! Just what i was going to say!

[miamiDaveGLi]

# 3 all the way 7.5 16s are the way to go thats what im rockin!
just in the back you have to zip tie the parking brake cable so it dosent rub the inside.

option 3 in 16's all the way..it will be awesome...make the car red and black instead, just my 2 cents! :mrgreen:

[Mr_Diesel]

16's are phat on A2's.... Don't forget you have 4 lugs, not 5.

VERY GOOD POINT !!
lotta rims now adays are universal though but be sure before you buy!!

If I keep this car, #3s are definlty what I will be running, but I will probaby get 15s, maybe even 14s. I'll need to find some pictures of Jettas with 14s and 15s to make a final decision tho.
If anyone is wondering, all these rims and many more are available at www.concept1.ca
