nah low was when we first fitted them wound right down, and they didnt budge due to the coils hitting the wheel

I'm not convinced. I think it sits a tad too low.

Please don't. They're such an obvious choice. Do something different.

Probably about 3/4 around this way.
My mate has a set on his Fabia VRS (reps), a girl has a set on her Polo (reps), there is an E39 M5 with them on (real) and about 3 mk3 golfs (real & fake).
In my eyes, they've gone from being cool wheels, to the no-brainer choice for any vag car.
What about 911 Turbo Twists?

Looks good!
The wheels you pictured are BBS RM's. They're only made in 15's. The ones you want are 16" BBS RS's that can be converted to 17"/18". Expect to pay a fortune for them, but if looked after you won't lose money on them.
