Tried fitting a big brake kit to the GTI today and the CHs wouldn't clear the R8 set up :angry:
unless i space the wheels out and fit a wide arch kit :grin: so i tried them behind the VWRs and they look the dogs danglies and clear easily with the curved spoke design :cool:
Anybody want a new set of CHs ? :rolleyes:

I'll look after them

Those VWR wheels need big brakes IMO.
You really thinking of selling the CH's?

Spoke to the guy today and the 19s will go on with a bit of messing with the ride height, and maybe a spacer to push them out a bit from the inner arch cos they are 8.5" wide with 235 tyres on :undecided: :undecided:

No tease, I previous tried a set of R8 calipers on my old ED30 and the only wheel that fitted without spacers was the TD PR 1.2.

It was a toss up which to get between Pro race and CHs
Just my luck that the Pro race will clear and the CHs don't :undecided: :sad:

I think L&B cost about £5.30 a pack now? Bloody government....

Neil, I can only imagine how pee'd off you are after finding the wheels and brakes aren't happy bedfellows :cry: One for Asker's thread there I reckon.
I can see this thread turning into a massive wheel swap shop!
Right, I've got a set of mint VWR Pro Race 1.2s & PS3s (SteveP's old ones, see his for sale thread for full details) that are unlikely to be used in the near future (impulse buy 'cos I really like them and I will need some 18's eventually when the car gets sold) and would exchange them for something OEM or near enough for when part-ex time arrives. Ideally I'd say a set of Monza Shadows that were minty mint with good tyres, however that's not a given as I went for Steve's wheels with the thought that my car didn't come with Shadows so I'd never be able to do a warranty claim if the things had the usual finish issues. So, what sort of multiple way swap can we get going here?!!
I'm half serious here but reckon the logistics could end up being an absolute nightmare. :grin:
-
^^^ Just thinking where to start is giving me a headache :sad:
Asker is the intelligent one around here :rolleyes: sure he will come up with something :grin:

I'll start the ball rolling then with a set of Monza Shadows for sale if anyone is interested.....? But Judging by the above post from Andy I reckon the chain reaction of this could actually cause the end of the world in October :smiley:

I think I've sorted a solution...
...everyone send your wheels to me :evil: :laugh:

It will probably involve a 1001 virgins and some form of self flagellation if Asker suggests it though..... :kiss:
