    Rim ideas ?

    04-26-2012 12:55 PM #1
    Hola bitcholas what I got here is a mk4 1.8t silver 4 door it's my dd and I'm fixin her up
    But heres the question I need rim ideas what I'm looking for is something German obviously maybe a gold or bronze rim ? If its real nice ill go for silver or black but I'm not 100% sure what waffled is but I was on the PT cruise and I think I saw what a waffled set or rims looks like and I love it ! Also I like something with a deep lip I'm pretty new to the VW culture but I love it already so that being said ideas ?

    Ps: any VW clubs around here it'd be nice to join one .... Also a good shop around the oly area besides mouse meat nothing against them I just want to see what's out there

    Thnx guys/girls

    There are literally hundres of wheels that you can run on your car based on the criteria you listed. My advice to you would be to cruise the MK4 forums, 5x100 forums and do a lot of googling to find what suits you. Once you find something, if you have a specific question about proper tire sizes, widths and offsets ask, you'll get more specific answers.

    Good luck.

    The proper term is "wheel". The rim is the outer lip area type thing. If you bought some rims, you'd have a hard time mounting them on your car...

    Thought of this when reading the news today. A guy asked what kind of rims were on another guys car and was beat into a coma after telling the poor guy "That's a stupid question".
