    I figure i'll paint them flat black to match the car. since my car is flat black.

    Well if you're asking MY opinion then I would pass. They appear to be 16" which I don't think look good on a A1 chassis car. That same wheel in a 15" would look perfect, but hey it's your car so do what you think looks the best.

    i personally like 16's & 17's on the scirocco 16v



    15s to me are just a smaller rim and more tire I never run anything more then 50 series just too much tire for me.

    Anyway i'm talking about the style (these rims are 150) i'm usually really picky

    the closest to my car i can find at the moment with a quick photochop

    the roads in the south are much nicer. we don't have snow here much.
    the roads mostly get really bad out in the country many of the roads are smooth like glass
    of course we have pot holes everyone does i love the roads down here FL and GA

    if the price is low enough, its worth a shot. even if its just to get you by while looking for others. they look pretty decent on those jettas, im just not a real fan of big wheels (see sig )

    the style is alright though, if it was big money id say get some panasport (or rough equivalent) for more of a retro-ish look, but those seem to have the same idea, just in different proportions.


    ...thats my .02
    ...but then again, i do drive a festiva

    good call. that's pretty crazy cheap. not much more than i paid for snowflakes- with destroyed tires, one bent pretty bad, and a good bit of rash
