Title: New Rims on my MK7.5 GTI now time for PPF:) *New black mirrors like the CS*
Post by: Wide on 20 May 2017, 21:31: I am so satisfied with the result!.. :grin:

The GoodYear Assymetric 3 with 235/35/19 are so much quieter the standard 18" witd Potenza 001 225/40.

And the ET45 instead of ET50 does the look awsome... :)

I like them, not much of a contrast between the wheels and the colour of the car but a great improvement.

I'm glad mine was only missing foglights, because the steering wheel on the wrong side would have really narked me. Surprised he took delivery of it, what was the compensation given?
