Better wheels, then the suggestion of Ronal Turbo's?

Those wheels would look ace with polished dishes and red centres

glad a few people agree with me, and btw i hate ronal turbos with a passion dude..

175/50s came today, and a mate is changing all the tyres around tomorrow so they will be ready to put on soon, and coilovers will be here monday (the dealer says)

had 5mins spare today so thought it would be rude not to give the wheels a trial fit..

this how they looked..









and the new dustys.. (suite the car so well, as my lil sister calls it the lego car) LOL!




i have always been abit unsure if i want to find out whats underneath the gti arches, but today i bit the bullet and took one off to find...













this was after i gave them a little wipe over but still very solid

cheers bud..

im going for more stretch, not to happy about it, the 175/50s are going on the 8js off the fronts and i will get some 155/55s for the fronts, should be decent stretch then tbh, and as im going loww i need the clearance tbh on the rear, think ive got to run 1.5deg of camber aswell on the rear so it doesnt catch (spoke to someone whos already gone loww with these wheels)

but yer il be in touch if i change my mind, looking for some 3 piece 13" splits..
