GTi Wheels

ModifiedMadness · Post by **ModifiedMadness** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 10:13 pm

I was thinking about going with 17" RS4's but am considering something a bit more Euro in maybe a 16" so I can lower it more but still have a decent(ish) size wheel. I'm asking now so I know for when I acually manage to find one, which is proving harder than I thought.

dunno if its jus me but what are you actually askin!?

if its recommendations for 16" rims then check out the Keskin range, they're normally 16" x 7.5" wide which look phat with a 195/45 tyre stretched over them...

and you can still drop it a fair way with coilovers!

That's basically what I was asking yeah, I mean I'm open to suggestions whether 15's look better or 16's look better, and the best tyre size to go with, I'm even considering Ronal Turbos' which I think is what you've got?

If it is have you got a couple of pics so I can see what they look like.

Cheers

got ya! i guess it depends how low you really wanna go... i think i now prefer 15's after having a set of keskin kt-1 in 16 x 7.5" coz i can go about 25 - 30mm lower and still get spacers on without too much scrubbing...

plus i could never get full lock with 16's on when i wound the coilovers right down!

not the best pics but maybe some idea...

Hmmm, going to have to think about this one, still I've got plenty of time, finding a nice silver polo GTi for sale is harder than finding rocking horse sh!t. I quite like the look of the Keskin KT5.

i would prefer to go euro, smooth, low, dished rims. or like a set of schmidts or ronals...
think this still is best suited with silver cars though.

I've found some that caught my eye, here's the links

How nice are they, I've just e-mailes them for some info. I've got a feeling that they were custom made, but it's worth a go, does anyone know of anyone else who sells wheels like that?

With reference to your quest to find a decent gti. I currently have one which i would let go for 4900 i know it's in Glasgow but you gotta travel to get these for a decent price.

Let me know if your interested or want to know anything about it.

Cheers

Although I really want one, that's just a tad to far for me, I want to try which I know is hard to find one with leather.

What does everyone think to the Keskin KT5, I found these on German e-bay, not sure what I think of the chrome but I think the wheels are quite nice
