20's (even some 19's) on a Mk4 http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif
The car looks like it's riding without rubber... plus the handling/performance actually deteriorates with such. If a mod isn't practical on the street (or track), why do it? Such cars look hideously unbalanced IMHO. But if some like cars that appear to be from another planet, so be it.

You must be crazy, 19's look straight HOTT...check this out...my 235/35/19's have a fine amount of tread, and handling is fantastic
Just a BAD AZZ pic of some 19" LM's.........WHY NOT DO 19's or 20's if you WONT RUB
(im not sure about not rubbing with 20's, but 19's I know for a fact since I got some)

Re-read my post again, please!!! .... right inside the beginning parentheses before you "shoot so quickly." Not everyone is going to pay those prices, and a forged wheel will help keep weight down for handling. A typical wide cast 19, especially 20" wheel is like having anchors at the corners. Additionally, if you go to the BBS website you'll notice those wheels are not listed as fitment for VAG's even though the bolt pattern is same. They are primarily TT wheels because our cars can take very low offsets (see sig). Some folks don't want their wheels outside the fender lip either.
You'll get lousy 1/4mi times and lose agility in auto-X (compared to smaller diameters) with those LM's despite their looking OK, so then you're forced into another set of wheels/tires if competition performance is a priority. All depends on what the guy wants on his car. Pizza pan 20's are sick and I don't mean in the way that word is typically thrown around on this site. He asked for opinions, so we're all entitled to comment whether you agree or not.

You are right, its all about preference.......he is absolutely right about bigger the wheel, the heavier the load and worse 1/4 mile times

But do you honestly think that anyone who puts a wheel that large on a GTI has performance as their primary concern? Probably not. People that put 20's or more on their car, regardless of what car it may be, really don't give a d#mn about performance. You would be a fool to even think about Auto X'ing on 19" LM's anyway!

Running 19's on those particular wheels, with such little thread, you have to be either insane rich or have the biggest balls on the planet. I will say they look AWESOME. It's my new wallpaper, however, I could never see me driving those, maybe if my car never drove anywhere, and just sat, I'd slap those on. But for realistic driving, 18" is the max.
Stop bashing him, I don't think he has performance in mind when he's cruising with these puppies. Big http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif's up to you.
