I have some 16X7.5(the discontinued size) on my white 98 GTi VR6.looks sooooo sweet! Don't get Kumho's, I had em, they squeeled sooo bad when going around corners, sure they're cheap, but they only last for about 15k miles. Get Sumitomos, a little more expensive, but perform much better and don't squeel around turns at all. Or Yokohamo's are good too. I just don't wanna see somebody using Kumhos and get into an accident cuz the tires fell apart on them. Those wheel rock though, could be a little lighter though
Really nice rims whcih I was going to get till I found out how heavy they are.... 24lbs each. Spoke with a few guys on the vortex and they felt it slowed their VR's down so I looked elswhere.
If you're more into looks than these are swee-eeet !

Hmmmm which sumitomos though? I found 3 on tirerack and there doesn't seem to be
any real difference. Also They are a little less than the kumho's????
