Welcome to the forum!

 225/40-18 is the size you'll need for those alloys.

Fancy a set of those myself but unsure about matt black rims on a black car.  Fancy posting some pics when you get them fitted?

 ill def add the pics for you mate.. if they dnt look right ,ill just put a coat of laquer over them to gloss them up abit.... only thing thats got me is.. with the lip on them sticking past the bolts,wont the rims stick out past the arches if you get my drift.

thanks alot

callam

 hi mate & welcome    them rims will be alright ive got a similiar set on mine but in silver the only problem i had was they caught on the front brake caliper very slightly so i bought some spacers to overcome this

DJ, they look great,where did you get them from? cheers

 how would i go on fitting a vw badge in these, can it b done?

hi  i got them from a shop on ebay for £600

ive also stuck some vw badges on the centres (not shown in pic) they where off ebay as well.............

 They are exactly the rims ive been looking at, be good to see how they look and you get on,

Daz...

 i love those rims,been thinking of fitting a set on my silver mk4,could you post a pic when you get them on

 whats size spacer would i have to have .. 5mm

Most people go with 5mm front 15mm rear which give a nice look, Get some pics once the wheels are on your car mate as i quite like the look of them

 i had them on my reflex golf for a week or so, with out tyres and in person they look really nice, on the car the dish seems to be alot smaller and all in all not that great :S? i think when i bought them i assumed for some stupid reason they might come out the arches at the time ? i prefured my rs4 reps i had what do you guys think ?

 also when the replica wheels where on my car i only had lowering springs fitted where as when i got the black and red inovit wheels i had bought coilovers hence why the front look lower with the inovits fitted :)

Ye i dont think they suit the silver golf now ive seen them. Maybe black golfs tho
