Whos got the biggest rims on a scirocco II

[toofast4you89 at gmail.com (Ben Walter)]

yup, I'm Rollin on 17" flik wasps.  205-40-17 and it only rubs on "hard"
corning:).  in my mind, 17's, may be too big if your looking for
performance, but they do fill the wheel well the best if all your interested
in looks.  18"s if done right could look good, but i think the sacrifices
that would have to be made are not worth it.  one down side to my wheels is
they are a hair on the narrow side(7"), which gives the car the look of
"stilts"
