MK4 wheels - will they fit

You should try to keep the same rolling distance (so any rim size will end up with no difference to the car height or speedo reading)

Your 19's are a low profile, you'd probably find 17's a good compromise. 15's are likely to feel sloppy as the sidewall will flex a lot.

If your car feels slow, I'd be looking at Vag-com, swapping out your J valve for a standard one and checking your piping for boost / vacum leaks. Unless you shead a lot of rim weight, you are not going to notice a massive difference.

ye i agree the 16's look better. i wouldnt mind the 15's because then the actual body of the car will sit lower to the ground.

that could be changed by running a slightly smaller profile tyres on the 16s.

15s with a 65 profile is not fun, after having my coilovers and sway bar installed i was rocking stockies, and you can feel the flex in the tyre before your suspension even moves

the stock wheels on gti are 16, so i'd double check the front wheels clear the brakes?

if they are OEM i think they do... someone asked a simular question a while back. i can send you some pictures showing measurements of the clearence inside my stock wheels if you need to double check?

i think 16's with some smaller profile is a good idea.
im not concerned about the power of the car..it is fine
nah thats fine 16's will be ok in clearing brakes.
17 days to go!! damn thats a long time

i still don't get why you want those 15's. they'd be good for off road and cheap tyres, that's about it.
i sold my 16" gti stock wheels for $300 (montreal 2's), i wouldn't pay any more than 250 for just 15" rims.... (tyres oviously add value if you need them)
put up a wanted listing in the forums here and copy it in your sig, or just browse the for sale section here for a little bit.
