Rims and offsets

Hi all,

Was wondering if most of u guys have changed the original rims to better ones....I was thinking of the volkracing GT-U 18"...

Dunno if u guys know which is the best offset that is reasonable and yet gives that aggressively look...

It is actually not too bad. Blends well and it is light.

From my understanding, all 4 wheels, and tyres need to be the same on the 8 to retain the good handling the car was designed for. If you deviate from this; it will be for looks, and not handling as this will be adversely affected...
