NielsF1 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 15" will be better for "performance". You wont spot any difference on low speeds it just looks better. On high speed (+60 mph) 15" will be better in the responses; 17" will slow you down a bit as of the "masstheory".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerthecabbyboy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 loved the look of my gti on 17's prefered the handling on 15s coz it was more 'flickable', on 17's it tended to grip a bit too much then feel horrible as it reached its limit with the 15's it was progressive and more confidence inspiring on roundabouts etc....altho the 17's solved my ground clearance problems lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 go for 16s,good comprimise, but with a 1.8D. Its not gonna make much difference. Its appallingly slow any way u look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
