I am about to order a MK V TDI. The only thing that is holding me back is the alloys. I dont know whether to get the 18" Karthoums or go for the 19" Atheo. The Karthoums are an after sales item and would cost more but the 19" ones will work out cheaper in the long run. Is 19" too big for a Golf or would it work out ok? It will only be the 105 bhp model, will the 19`s be too much for the engine.

Any advise would be appreciated.

19s on a mk5 golf i think is perfect!!

i thought that 19's looked to big which is why i went for 18's. It depends on what look your going for really. I prefer subtly rather than in yer face mods.

 

[R44MS_K]

this is for a mk5 remember....

 

[JMcQueen]

I know, I have a MK5

its a bit like buying size 12 shoes for size 9 feet[]

I'd put even bigger on it, go up to 20", just look at those arch gaps, huge !!! Bet you could get 21 or 22" rims in those easy.

Its a big car so big wheels wont look to daft, it's not like your putting 19"s on a saxo is it[]

When I change to a mk5, its gona be 20" at least for me []

i gotta say 19s look great, phat tyres for superb handling too

 

[TurboTrev]

19s do it for me. They certainly don't look out of proportion on a MK5 IMHO.

you sayin the bellow looks crap [:O]

 

[Viperpsych]

19" all the way!!! Those pics look the dogs.

I second that 19" all the way. 19" is like the new 17" alloys where as 18" is like fitting 16" to cars 5+ years back.

Golf arches are massive they need feeling up with 19". [8D]

It's always the 1.4/1.6 drivers that don't like 19", probably because your car is too slow to turn them. []lol![]

well... i again admit them two mk5's r very nice but the ones i've seen in real life has always looked c**p so i am still stickin with my first statement[^]

 

[R44MS_K]

19s for me.. all the way

only 17s i would put on my car are TT comps, only 18s are BBS RCs (or similar)

 

[daflyingfinn]

those 17" r just perfect

 

[hz2921]

i got to say that black mkv on 19,s is wicked[^], you couldnt really put anything less on there could you?
