the sport raider are the vw sports type alloys. if i were you i'd go for some polished 14's from withing the VAG range. As metz says, p-slots have kind of been done to death, so why not try something like the following, maybe polished? or another option is black centres and polished lips (see grey mk1 gti in this months pvw)
14" VW Silverstones, better known as Teardrops (Found on mk2 golf gti's)
14" VW Zandvoort alloys, found on passats iirc
A Good Link to standard Vw Alloys....

Hope this helps. if you're after any specific alloys, give me a shout and i'll try to help!

I wanted teardrops on my old 1.0L but then I couldn't find them and became more fond of P-Slots. Just so happens there a set of matt black ones wrapped in 195/45/14 Fulda rubber...

i've always prefered teardrops to p-slots (hence me selling all my sets of p-slots) asd they're a bit more exclusive. luckily i've got a set of teardrops arriving next week on a golf i've aquired

You can't go wrong with a set of 13" bbs ra's. Infact I'm probably gonna get a set on my new GT.

Bottle tops, ATS Classics, or Zandvoorts for me.
I really wanted a set of Zandvoorts for my red MK3, but couldn't find a set.
They wouldn't have ran the centre cap though, because that makes them look gay IMO.

what? huh? me, wheels, what, eh?
loganberries? with cream? in the st trinians girls school dormitory at midnight, with my reputation? what WERE they thinking?!?!
um
ahem.
yep, lovin' the silverstones, get in quick before everyone's got them. fashion, you know, its a fickle thing. just when you think you've found something nice and unique that are cool (like the P's seemed to be about a year ago), suddenly every bugger's got them!
