A courier would've cost slightly less, but me and the missus had a nice weekend away.

The wheels feel very light in comparison to the Austin's. Going to give them a coat of Gtechniq C5 before they go on the car.

You've a very understanding missus. Can't imagine too many being happy to spend 17 hours in a car just to collect a set of wheels!

And don't forget a few before and after pictures :smiley:

Hoping to have them on the car by the end of the week. Our lass knows what I'm like with my car's - we flew to Southampton to pick up my Octavia because it was the 'right car' for me to then sell it 4 months later because it was boring.

THEY'RE ON!!!!

Check out the weight difference between the Austin's and the Belvedere. It's made a massive difference in how the car drives, seems to take imperfections in the road better too.

Really, really pleased with them, pictures don't do it justice. Looks loads more aggressive now.

Wasn't sure about them at first but I love them now.

They look great! Would like a set myself but I'm not as dedicated to the cause as you!

They do look good to be fair, but why did you go all the way to Germany for them? :undecided:
