I think I like the GTI ones.... The RS4 & 6 are a quite open design which IMO do not suite the Toledo so well.... The more solid looking wheels look pretty good..... Saying that though the TT QS wheels look well on black cars;)

i really like the GTI ones but would prefer to see them on a Tolly before i bought them - could anyone photoshop them on to a silver Tolly?
Progress on mine over the weekend was i've now got my coilovers on and i'm very pleased with them although i may need to adjust them a bit further after changing the wheels. I'll get some pics on later today after work

What's the ride quality like:confused:.... my 1.8 20v is a quite soft.... not sure if the V5 set up is any firmer as standard.....

It's definately firmer with the coilovers on but not bad at all. I've only ever used lowering springs on previous cars and would recommend spending the little bit extra and getting the full kit

I really like the idea of the GTI wheels. I found a photo of a guy i knows toledo with a cupra bumper and a better pic of mine with the lower bumpers colour coded for you to compare.

Yeh, i think i'll definately get a set, mind i think yours looks superb as it is.
Seeing the Cupra bumper and the Cupra R wheels, i don't think it suits them although it might just be the colour that's putting me off

I do wanna change the wheels, one of the ones on it is cracked. Im not all that fussed on the cupra bumpers and things on toledos. There are along nicer things imo to enhance the look of a Toledo.

it can go low enough so the tire is hiding behing the wing but with the stock wheels it just doesn't look right. I might be adjusting it again once the wheels are on

It looks good... I am doing it the other way and trying to get some wheels before I lower it..... Think I will deff get the coilovers though so I can adjust the height to suit.....;)

My mate had a toledo, he really liked it but it was only a 1.6. I couldnt belive how much room there was in the boot.
