Stance is a dirty word!

Pat and Stu, your mk3's are exceptions to the 17" rule for sure, unless it's just the angles of the photographs....

Maybe one note with pulling off this look is to get more of a chunkier style style wheel like those south african vr wheels or those triangular centra (?) wheels posted up from James.....

Good discussion though, glad it got the responses!

might go look for some pics to add.....

I do want to have a car with some cornering capabilities and the whole mostly legal thing going on. I think i will get some 16 x 8, run some race rubber on the cabby and run it on coils at 100mm when I get my new project under way!

+1. Had this goal from the very start of owning a car. Handle/corner well, reap whatever aesthetic comes with function.

a mk1 cab I looked at buying some time back had something similar by BBS, but dont think it was the VR style ones you have pictures
