What I hate is how must stock tires aren't wide enough to protect the rim. Can you say curb damage?

Also, who the hell really needs 19 inch rims on a hatchback? All they do is weigh more, attract thieves, and force you to spend twice as much on tires.

I think it was motor trend that did a comparison test using different wheel sizes on a vw. I think it was the 16 inch wheels that perfomed best overall beating out the larger wheels.

No surprise there.

I'm really tempted to buy a GTI, but the huge wheels it comes with look comical on a car like that. I'd have to toss them on Ebay.
