RedRobin Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 This pic was taken by P.Glover (TSNer I think) at GTI International and IMO shows how BBS wheels improve the Mk5's appearance. I much prefer the Mk4 .:R alloys to the OEM Mk5. The car has obviously been lowered as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panman Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 You can get Aristo style 18"s to fit the MK V (Not originals) Not a whole lot easier to clean, but I have seen them on eBay, and confirmed with the (UK Based) Seller that they do have the right PCD and offset available... Having said that, the BBSs aren't to my personal taste, but that's just me. Nice car though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 God, how much does a wee bit of lowering and some tsty alloy imprive the MKV .:R32. Makes me want one (again - MKV not MKIV)!! Just sort that grille out and the MKV, as per aboce, would be lurvely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 That does look good lowered I still think I prefer the OEM wheel design tho. Dare I say it I actually think brushed stainless mirror caps to match the grill could look good. (S3 stylee). Perhaps I'm alone on this one tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
