GTi Clubsport - 18" wheels > 19" wheels

I doubt it was his money either 

I was thinking similar, Fred. I do wonder how objective the Wizard is in some of his recent reviews because there does seem to be a creeping level of product placement and also a reluctance to criticise certain suppliers, especially those that are selling or lending him something. Or, am I just being too grumpy and cynical?

No I think like a lot of people he's now thinking of YouTube as less of a fun hobby and more of a money spinner.

When you see just how much it is possible to make I guess we'd all do the same - its a big business.

Balls, I missed a trick there with the amount of cars I burned through in the last few years!

There's a guy I watch on YouTube who has five million subscribers. He's a qualified doctor but spends his time making two YouTube videos a week doing stupid stuff... He doesn't need his medical income any more..

Hats off to those who can make a good living out of it doing something they love 

I don’t really do the YouTube thing much but I’d imagine I was in a minority of one these days so advertising revenues must be huge.

Just to close this thread out, I ended up buying a set of 19” Brescias from VW Tunbridge Wells. Wheels came with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. All for £1700 fitted which I thought was reasonable. Work was done yesterday and car looks 10x better IMO.

Thanks for all contributions to the thread

Good choice Yantos, don’t forget the photos!

Cheers, very happy with the results. Price seemed good as the Imola, Estorils and Pretoria’s all seem to be £3k+ for wheels only. Should probably get 50-60% back come sale time in 2 years when lease is up. At least I dont go out to the car feeling disappointed in its appearance anymore !
