<< 15s or 16's. It's really hard to find a proper sized 205 tire smaller than 15. And, most people would agree with me here: 17's are too big and heavy (for an A2) unless you're putting out a LOT of power. IMHO 15" wheels with 205/50 (or 195/50) are the best idea. If you really want the 'big wheel' look and don't mind spending more money, consider 16", but realize the drawbacks (extra cost, unsprung weight, rotational mass, and rolling radius). 17" wheels exacerbate these problems and are just for show unless you have a modded VR6 or turbo 16V under the hood to spin them! >> id agree with that sentiment, a 17 is a BIG wheel to fit under an A2, id stick with 16s if your going for the low-pro look, 15s if you want better performance with decent looks too, 17"+ wheels are very popular, but whats popularity if your spending 200 dollars a month to replace bent rims...but thats just my opinion -Mike _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
