that is the lowest i can go at the rear, the front needs to come down about a inch still.

are they simmons? looks nice.:)

[JustCruisn]

Wow that is LOW.
What suspension do you have?

Oh get those windows tinted too.

[RedMk2Gti]

We don't see that colour in Mk4 Golf too often.
Very nice wheel :driver:

[dubbed]

Mmm Simmons FRs, one of my favourite wheels. Funny that I've never considered them on a Golf! *Dreams of deep dish FR17/18s on a MKIV*

[Jarred]

Looks pretty good.

Nice one.

[RhysQ]

looks good mate. only thing i'd suggest is get some dark tint and colour code the bump strips and lower skirt....then you'd have a very nice clean LOOOOOOW ride! :D

thanks all for the comments, i have been thinking about colour coding it but most of my money going into my type 3 at the moment. the fr's would have to be one of my fav wheels, i actually bought them to put on a subaru brumby/wrx conversion where doing but have found there way onto the golf until its finished. the colour is different but has grown on me. its got compressed rears and sl kings upfront but the ride isn't the best, if i decide to keep it i get some coilovers.

cheers steve

Hey Steve, I would love to see more pics. of your Type 3, as it looks very similar to one that a friend owned back in Melbourne about 10 years ago....

[jnrm3]

hey the one in my aviator is a 69 model, which i built about 4-5yrs ago which has since been sold. i have two 64 squares now which will hopefully be finished soon.

spotted this car knox, these pics don't do justice!!
what centre bore are these wheels?

[rayray086]

Daaamn, on 16's and it's tucking tyre at the rears! That's seriously low for a Mk4. Any better pics yet??

[DubSteve]

Could that be the lowest mk4 in oz :o

[Bboy_Sparx]

Sick...

When u get bored of the wheels, I'll buy them off you :)

[JVLR32]

mmmmm nice:driver:

[Preen59]

Mate, just saw this thread.. Love it! Nice to see a low Mk4 with 16s.. They look tough!

[VR6child]

Damn we need better pics that looks so good from what I can tell squinting. Love 5 spoke wheels on golfs. Whats the oem wheel size for a mk4? I reckon from a styling point of view it looks best to keep the oem size and go really low.

[jnrm3]

Hey all thanks for the comments.
Sorry the pictures have taken so long. I've been playing round with a few different set-ups and working flat out on my type3.

I raised it slightly with a another set of springs....

Main reason it was raised today was so i could fit the new rears.

Will give it a few days to settle then if it doesn't sit where i want it to it will be drop a bit more all the way round.

Schwartza3 i work at Knox Jb C-Sound so like to keep it in view. The wheels have been machined to have the correct center bore for the golf.

Cheers
Steve
(hopefully it will be sitting nice for the DoVW.)

[DubSteve]

Hmmm If I was you I'd slam it down more and also tyres I can see the reason why you have up'd the height your tyres are to wide:D

[Silver dub]

just wondering how long have you had the car for? I had one identical to that about 2 and a half years ago and i traded it in a camberwell volkswagen for my bora. A guy brought it and hardly drove it then last i saw he was selling it on carsales. Just started thinking it might have been my car?
