OK, was thinking of slapping some bigger and better looking wheels on the MK5 and was seriously considering the Phaeton Helios. However, this has been done by the Belgian guy (villie) and I really wanted it to be individual. So, on to the latest idea (and after a tip off from a friend!)
How about putting Lamborghini Gallardo wheels onto the car!?!? Don't think this has ever been done before (prob. due to cost as approx ?1k per corner with tyres!!) so it would certainally be individual.
I believe they will go straight on. Specs of wheels are as follows:
Front rim size : 8.5 x 19 inch
Rear rim size : 11x19 inch
Fron tyre size : 235/35 ZR 19
Rear tyre size : 295/30 ZR 19
Supplied tyres : Pirelli P ZERO 'ROSSO' with asymmetric unidirectional tread
That rear wheel width worries me though! I guess there is nothing stopping me just putting the front wheels on the back too??
If I am going to do things then I may as well do them right and I will no doubt need to sort the suspension so it does not look like a monster truck and also will probably put the votex bodykit on it as I just love it!
Here is a photochop (very amateur - used Villie's car) of potentially what it would look like. Colours not quite right as it looks very dull but it gives you the idea.

Hopefully you can see it (have problems putting up pictures through imagestation)
It would also be nice to get the lambo brakes behind there too - it would make a nice change from the Porsche set-up.
And the beauty would be the fact that it is still all OEM!!
So what do you think??
