Hi everyone and thanks for letting me join, been a long time but finally got a 2016 GTI 3 door manual which I’m thoroughly enjoying! Photo is taken at the dealers, picked up last week 😎

Welcome AHA, that’s the magic blend you know - 3 doors, manual and GTI!

Nice not too far from you in Bournemouth

Thanks for welcome, all good so far! Still not sure about the 19” alloys though, they look too big for the car to me? Thinking of getting something smaller, or am I mad?

[AHAgolf]

Looking at these alloys from GMP Italia, any thoughts?

Finally given her a proper clean and going to change the wheels, not sure what people think of the 19” Santiago’s? Will put them up for sale if there’s anyone interested.

Santiagos are  a popular choice. Should get good money if in good condition. Not sure why you want to change them.

[AHAgolf]

They’re all in good nick, no scrapes etc. I just think they look a bit fussy and a bit too big for the car. They were on the car when I bought it last month and I thought they might grow in me but they haven’t, got brand new tyres on the front pair and nearly new on the rear. I’ll post an advert when I get replacements.

They’re very Audi-like.

I like the simple five spoke style (easy to clean) and the colour, as I’m a big fan of anthracite / gun metal / smoked chrome coloured alloys. I’d prefer them without the diamond cut edge though as I don’t like diamond cut alloys.
