    Forgot to mention my current alloys are 16'

    The multispokes are 18'

    The 5 spoke are 17'

    First of all, Welcome aboard.

    If you go for the 18" rims you'll also need a set of rack limiters fitted to avoid the tyres hitting the arches on full lock.

    Also the speedo will under read unless you go very low profile.

    With the 17" rims you don't need limiters and the speedo will read pretty much bang on.

    Personally I'm not a fan of BBS style rims as I think they look too 'busy' but personal taste and choice is what it's all about.

    Cheers for that.

    I didn't know about the speedo change.

    Well that made my mind up.

    I'd have to say neither BBS style multi spokes look very old fashioned imho. White Rims on a white car is too much white for me. Now the second set in black - that would look mean. Wheels are a personal thing tho.....

    I would go with the 18's.. the 17's look like the MK1 RS tyres

    I like the second set but a different colour. As has been mentioned above, white on white is too much :blink:
