17"wheels

["christopher n. collier" <cnscenic@mm.com>]

hi all chris collier here,

well i read the posts about the bigger wheels and thought that i would
comment;

in answer to the question about fitment, yes they will fit; i personally
know this to be true; 

on my 95 jetta gl, i was running 17x8 tsw hock r's with yoko avs
215/40zr17; never rubbed; that was with a stock suspension

i put them on my brother's gti, which is running the spax 24 way adj kit
with neuspeed lowering springs, no rub;

now to comment on the ride; it is incredible, the wider contact patch
really makes a difference on the highway at cruising speeds, makes the
car very solid; the car handles on a dime;

i am hoping that i can sell these 17" rims with the 4x100 bolt pattern,
so that i can get a set with the 5x100 bolt pattern i now have on my glx

as far as anyone thinking of getting the 17" rims, DO IT, the advantages
far out-weigh the disadvantages; 

that is my opinion
