coil overs or standard shocks, wots the difference?
any idea's welcome in "14 & "15, would like to hear your thoughts or ideas, i'v fixed an img on so you can see the car they'l be going on, if you can add a pic of the wheels you have in mind that would be really helpfull as im useless with names of designes in the field of wheels ….
hav fun and decorate away ……… who knows i may even let the winner of the design i decide on come round and lick my rims!!

cost
marks1 said
How much dollar you got to spend??????? Can't beat image for me but bit costly.
not really thought about the cost yet suppose really between ?400-?600 as a bench mark but can stretch to more as an idea but the important thing is to find some that go really well and then way up the cost then to how they look, if they look good thier worth the dollar!

Those rims I got look sweet but the work involved to get them right for the golf and the cost of a refurb would have rendered them useless if you had paid around ?250 for them, hence why I ended up buying the car.

Or any of the wheels here. There are sooo many more designs of wheels out there that look better than ATS cups/classics or BBS splits or anything made by Lenso. (I'm not trying to criticise those of you who have those wheels, just my opinion).
If you aren't confused enough after seeing all of the choices in the link above, try here and here.

i must admitt i quite like the equip ones you'v shown on there, dont know about the gold maybe if thet were black or white instead of gold how much are they too buy and r they actually split rim or imitation?
I think the original Works wheels will be split rims and probably quite expensive. There are copies available made by a company called Rota, and they come with a black or gold centre, more info here.
