I've looked and haven't found any yet ...I was looking at sportline alloys ...I really like them ...just wished they came in 18" like T5's

Tbh they suit me to the ground. With what I do for a living, I wouldn't be able to cope with 19s. I think it is one of the defining things of the sportline, the alloys are instantly recognisable. I would like to lower it, but not coilovers.

I think Gav may be doing it, so wait until he does before I decide haha

I would like some but think they would look lost on mine with the bulk of a maxi life ??

[Ryan]

Yeah mate I agree, are you gonna keep your alloys when you lower it? And deffo couldn't go down from a big size to a smaller, it would do my nut in

[torque777]

I'm waiting to lower it and see really ...just about to buy road tax so more money gone plus our jetta's dmf decided it didn't like being a flywheel any more and destroyed itself ...so new dmf and clutch ...so with that and my cambelt I'm out of pocket this month lol ..plus I was looking at 19" tyres too ...have to wait ...also fed up at lokking at vmax sat in garage

[Ryan]

Ahh man bad news. Sorry to hear it. They are lovely alloys would be a shame to take them off your van. You may not notice a huge difference when lowered

[torque777]

I think I will keep them really as I like them ...real easy to clean ...just tyres aren't cheap ...think they will look great when she is lowered ...just waiting on my mate to use his workshop ...but can't push it as he has just done jetta with a days notice lol

[Ryan]

Yeah mate I would keep them. They suit the maxi and I bet lol, sounds like a good lad you have working on your cars then

[torque777]

Yes he is ex vw ...plus he likes his vag cars

[Ryan]

Ahh handy to know then

I've been looking for pictures of a sportline lowered on standard alloys for ages! They just don't seem to exist. Which I find odd considering so many people are of the view that the sportline is lowered on the eibach springs as standard.

I'd love to see one.... I think I'd be happy with mine if it was lower and went round corners a bit better. :-)

[Ryan]

Yeah same here, I thought they were lower but told they aren't, I think it's like an optical illusion, as the profile of the tyres are lower than standard it looks like it's a tad lower. But I now know they are normal height

[MMM1978]

It's the splitter and the side bars that make it look lower I think. However when you catch a glimpse of that cave above the wheels, you can tell it's def no lower at all.

Yeah that's a good point, that's what it is. You have solved my mystery
