joorsh Forums Junkie Registered: June 2003	New rims - bad or good? Mon, 26 April 2004 06:59 I finally found some rims to fit my mk2, but I'm still in 2 minds about them. What I've basically found so far: *) They're a little slimmer (225 as opposed to 245), but slightly larger rim diameter (16" as opposed to the stock 14"). The steering has obviously lightened up considerably, but I'm still deciding if this is a good or bad thing. The reduction in tyre wall means less flex, am I right? I have yet to push it through some bends to see if I can feel a difference. *) There looks as if there's a little more room around the inside of the rim now, so a brake upgrade may be easier now (a good 1" clearance around the caliper). *) Lastly, I'm still trying to decide if I like the look of them over the stock rims. I've chucked a picky in of the new rims so you can see for yourself - I'm sure most of you are familiar with the stock rims. Opinions and comments? -J- [Updated on: Mon, 26 April 2004 07:48] [Report message to a moderator]
