Hey everyone - just got myself a sweet little 2.0 8v MK3 GTI on a 97plate ...

got a few things I wanted to bounce of you all ....

The alloys on her are shot (kerbed like you wouldn't believe) and I'm shortly going to get some new ones .. (cost will be an issue) ..

I also want to lower her ... handles fine ... its the look that I am after!
now then, being that I am not mr experience with motors ... can I get that lowered look fitting different wheels or is that a dumb question?

and your opinions ... 15" 16" or 17" - what should I be looking at here?
also could someone advise whats the difference here running bigger wheels? cosmetic or does it change the car ... top end / quicker exel?

sorry if dumb questions ... there's gonna be a few but I'm a quick learner..

Cheers
J
