Ordered some Brooklyn's

Looking forwards to seeing pictures of the Brooklyn's on the car. I'm old school when it comes to wheels much prefer silver to black.

Thanks, I'll get some pictures up once I get them fitted. I wanted to go down to 17's whilst keeping everything OEM.

I wonder if there is a slight difference in the DSG and manual footrests which means the manual requires no fettling. Mine definitely did and I see how Booth11 had cut the lugs on his.
no difference between them, it's just pot luck.

don't think they do do they? Didn't someone have some 17s and they scraped on the balancing weights. Is it not why the winter options are 18s?

We run 17s on our PP in winter. The Dijon wheels from a Golf GT clear the brakes OK.

I do, just like this guy.  :smiley:

There's threads on MK7/ROC/Vortex of people listing all the OEM 17's that fit over PP/R brakes. Some are pretty tight and need low profile weights, but a lot of them fit no problem.
