Exors look nice, but looking at a pic from the brochure, I think they look their best with some sort of bodykit.

Montreals II probably more practical and also look very nice.

Btw... will you also get the car lowered? might need a bit of lowering to make the Montreals II look their best.

I wonder what suspension/springs DJ has on(?) they look nice on his colour of car.

i agree with pukka u will need to lower the car in order to have the montreals looking at their best, if your after looks then 17s are the way to go and the exors are the one.

after i get the wheels i think i will be lowering the car. considering vw sport suspension which lowers around 25-30 mm to get the normal look. do you think vw sport suspension is ok?

vw sport supsension is fine just change the springs for the vw approved 25-30 mm drop as it will be needed if you go for the 17inch exor. ps they do look really nice with the votex kit and drop. 8)

coilovers is the propa way to do it even if u only going down 30 or 40mm, as the cars suspension isnt made for going done 30 or 40mm on springs

if you going for 17's stick to the springs (a it wll be cheaper and b it won't affect the ride too much if the roads are bad) :)
