I found this picture of a 94 GTI just like mine on these 17" 8 spoke graphite wheels. I think it looks amazing compaired to my little 14" pieces of metal, your thoughts?

That's pretty hot, but just think:
If you focus that kind of attention to your futr C... it will be sex on wheels!!! It's worth the wait bud.

no, b5 passats can fit 20", but not jetta/golf. my friend used to have one, the GTI VR6 5 speed. He was racing on mukilteo speedway, and hit a crx, and both went to take a piss in the bushes. noone hurt though, and i still can't believe it was real, because i saw both cars, and it wasn't appetizing.

But of course, the turbo is a must.
For the C70, the High Pressure Turbo

Im a VW owner, active in the VW scene as well. You car modded like that will be the hottness plus be a friggin blast to drive. The C70 will never be able to be as enjoyable as that car. The only problem is, it's a VW......
