Got the Pretoria reps fitted,and Michelin pilot sport 4s.

Vw logos haven’t arrived yet....and also didn’t realise the wheel nut covers don’t fit so must order some different ones.very pleased with the result though,think it looks better now.


Forget that...wheel nut covers do fit ....just very tight.










Likewise :smiley:  May start a ‘trend’ here...

Got rid of the Richmonds :smiley:

That’s a great improvement on both of your cars guys. IMO a big plus is that your new wheels aren’t diamond cut, so no worries with the dreaded white worm corrosion in a couple of years time down the line :smiley:.

18 for me,I wanted 19’s but not worth all the moaning from her indoors about the bumpier ride.

Tyres being around £50 cheaper each is an added bonus.

When I changed my tires to PS4S the ride was totally changed with 19"'s
