Take a look at the wheels below. I'm always reluctant to spend lots of money on my car when I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep it, but tell me if you think these wheels would look good on the Mk4.

18"

16" or 17" might be best since I don't have any side skirts or front or rear lips.

I'm also looking into a GLI front lip spoiler (Thanks for the idea, Sam). Opinions?

I like the 18's... and in my honest opinion anything smaller than 18" on a mk4 is a waste of money, they just look too small... thats my opinion tho

I agree with you. Here's a picture of an Mk4, 18's, and no kit. It looks alright, but if I added the GLI lip I think it could look great.

Found some 18" TSW's on eBay. I think these are better than the other 18's I posted.

anything 18" and 5-spoke look absolutely sick on MK4's...if you were to go smaller you have to drop the car...

I think they'd look great, I actually almost bought a set of 17" in those TSW's for my car once...

My car already is dropped. However, I don't want the wheels to:

1. Make it look like an SUV again
or
2. Rub the wheel well if they're too big w/ my drop

I also LOVE the R32 wheels, too.

I'm not really liking those wheels. I think they need more material :shrug:
