Aftermarket rims

[Golfer]

NOOOOOOOO!!! Someone intercepted my rims en route (i assume they made an offer the importer couldn't refuse...) I would now have to wait until after christmas for the riaxes if i'm still interested. Guess i'm starting from scratch. So hard to find wheels i like in 16 inch, and i'm resisting the move to 17's, as i already spend too much time at the dentist without my car rattling my teeth out as well

Who's got 16's? Pics guys would be most appreciated, as i'm running on (worn down 185/65 R14) SLICKS at the moment and need wheels post haste. Plus i'm keen as to drop the thing 30 mil, and i can't do it and keep a straight face on stock wheels and tyres lol

intensem1 has some BBS 16's for sale!!! re drill em and drop it, it will look absolutely sweet!

[Golfer]

Hahaha lol, how about this? (these are actually avaliable in a 4x100 16"!)

Alternatively i could go a little more conservative...



But hey, the more i look at those little mini dubbed out chromies... lol

:S Those chromes are yuck IMO. Definitely prefer the 10 spokes over the chromes. I'm considering Alex's BBS RS, but still trying to jump over that redrilling hurdle; I don't like the idea of it, but I've heard that many Golfers have done it for theirs, and I just love the BBS RS 3 piece rims... ... ...

I had a mate try and redrill a set of 17's for his Saab, and the whole process made me whince... I really would prefer to find a set of rims that are already designed for my car.

Not a fan of "DUB style" rims on the little golf Ray? At least it would be unique! (not sure anyone else is silly enough to put them on lol )

Redrilling is $150 at Tempe Tyres Man.

Sorry for the photodump guys but the tyre situation is getting kinda desparate!!! Just trying some ideas on...

What do you think of these ones (I know they're chrome, but the styling is a little more subtle)?

[GoLfMan]

love the style of those rims mate, they look awesome one of my favourite designs

Nah, not a fan of the chrome dub style, but hey, your most recent Photoshop effort looks good! Seen them on a Nissan Silvia S13 that I had considered buying before the Golf, and always had a soft spot for those.
