VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 They have finally returned! and I have to say, they are looking sh*t hot! They are ALOT lighter than your average wheels and I dont expect to see a set on another car some time soon! Thoughts/Comments?[ 2_dscn5900.jpg ] Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 can never go wrong with bbs on a vw really.......less unsprung weight should give you a little bit of performance gain as well. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 What tyre size do i need to go for then? the wheels are 6.5" wide... they had 205/50/16 on before, but i didnt like em! Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 go for whatever size mkIII anni's have as standard i reckon. think it must be 205-45-16 Link to post Share on other sites
Atlas 12v 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Anni's came on 215/40R16's but these had a tendency to rub when the suspension got a bit tired. Go for 205/45R16's, straight on no problems Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 go for 195/45 Link to post Share on other sites
pete8tch 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 the correct size would be 215/40/16 to keep the rolling radius. shame you dont like the 50s coz i have 2 new f1s Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 would 205/40/16's be ok? Link to post Share on other sites

Joe M 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Use either 205/45 16's or 215/40 16's. 215's are slightly under the standard rolling radius, 205's are slightly over.I preffered the drive on 215's, though it was a bit more harsh with them, this was on standard suspension. I reckon 205's would be perfect with uprated suspension. Link to post Share on other sites
