16" wheels for a mk3

[BBS_mk3]

Yep most of the wheels I'd like to get seem to be of the expensive deeped dish variety such as.....



and....



too expensive for my pocket at the moment. I'm getting married in November so funds are unfortunately tight!

Well... those wheels are expensive for a reason, they're made rather inefficiently at high labour costs. That doesn't necessarily mean that by having certain wheels, it will be any different to having cheaper wheels. Just get whatever looks best on your car, who gives a crap where they come from, its not like any one else besides you and one other person will ever recognise the value of having expensive or exclusive wheels. Pointless exercise in my opinion on inexpensive cars...

Great looking wheels but I think they would be better suited to a mk 1 or 2 imo.

I'd consider those If I was looking for wheels, paint the centers black or clolour coded to the car and you've got a fantastic set of rims. Black rims look best with a bit of silver and chrome. Those wouldn't be a bit hard to do? Just out of interest Wabit, why are you selling the wheels?

[WABIT]

i think with my ride height the wheels will be to big....

if they dont fit the car when this low im gonna downgrade to 15's but 7 and 8 inch staggerd

The reason that the wheels are more expensive is because they are of a better construction and finish than the cheaper cast wheels. Personally I think the three piece wheels look better too.

I've got no problem on spending money on a good set of wheels even though my golf is not worth much. I can always take them off if I decide to sell the car one day.

Afterall why do any of us modify and tune our cars??? It's a hobby, its fun and I wouldn't have it any other way I don't think anyone does this to turn a profit

However whilst I love the 3pcs I think I'll probably go with a good looking cast wheel in the end, unless I can find a nice second hand set. Purely due to my budget.
