8mm makes a big diff. Look at it in real life. 52mm looks better for our cars imho

8mm is not a huge difference. I have 60mm Defi BF gauges. I have the Gruppe-s panel to mount all three of them.

Search under Gruppe-s and you will see pics.

yea 8mm is not a big difference. i have my 60mm boost gauge mounted next to my 52mm wideband and you can barely tell the boost gauge is bigger....

i like 60mm gauges. way easier to read

I'd say where you are going to put it is also important. I went with the Defi Bf in the consol and they look great that with 60mm. If you go with pillar or column then 52 mm would be better.
