binliner 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 the mk4 anniversary wheels are the ones with the smoked chrome finish arent they? not especially aimed at everyday driving! Link to post Share on other sites
stu h 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 i think those wheels are the ones that badboyv6 has on here -seem to remember them from the rr day. they looked very nice on his car.think they would look tougher than the anniversary ones, alghtough i liek them loads too.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 thanks for your critisism, but you will find that what i mean about every day driving is not having 9" of wheel under my arches Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 thanks for your critisism' date=' but you will find that what i mean about every day driving is not having 9" of wheel under my arches [/quote']what criticism??! I just didnt think polished 18" mk4 anniversary wheels would be any better for daily driving (plus theyre not splits either ) Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 still in 2 minds between 16" and 17" though ! lol Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 16"s of course....best compromise between performance and looks. 17"s just aren't complient enough over bumps, unless you run big merc size tyres!you know this already, but i reckon go for the mkIII anni's....its the standard plus look either way, buy second hand as BBS are stupid money new.

pete8tch 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 love the look of my 17s but the ride and handling and acceleration are noticably worse , would go with 16s now.the 17s really affect the acceleration even tho its on 40s Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 nah I'd go for 17s... need them to fill the arches and when I had the 15s on for a while the car didnt feel as stable Id never go back to them Link to post Share on other sites

pete8tch 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 according to the sizing chart my wheels are only 3 % different but they look loads bigger, and i can feel the difference in the acceleration a lot, but they look loads better an thats the point.
