Post by: Kruga on 23 October 2013, 20:18: Nice wheel's you all got guys, dilemma now is that i don't know which wheels to get haha gone of the two alloys i posted earlier :angry:

Also damien few questions, What wheels are they? What spoiler is that and finally what rear valance is that off?

Also guys i noticed some of use have the Gti badge in your front grille's was just wondering how did use get it too fit? i bought one a few weeks back but the bugger just wouldnt fit at all couldn't screw the back in..
Title: Re: Members Alloys
Post by: dom on 23 October 2013, 20:25: The wheels above are 3sdm 0.01s, the spoiler and balance are both anniversary ones. The badge should just clip into the grill.
Title: Re: Members Alloys
Post by: damien010685 on 23 October 2013, 21:00: The spoiler isn't an anni it's a Votex dom its bigger than the anni and the valance is as u say a anni with a custom cutout for the 4mo tips

Must be the angle of the pic because mine's a Votex and look deeper than that.

The CHs reps look good and there easier to keep clean but again pretty common but out of all our choices Shady I think CHs look the best..

Post by: Kruga on 27 October 2013, 11:30: Ok guys so ive decided im going to go for these wheels IF they'll fit
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400531323981?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

2 X 8.5 X 18" 5X100 ET40 ALLOY WHEELS (FRONT)
2 X 9.5 X 18" 5X100 ET40 ALLOY WHEELS (REAR)

My tyre measurements are 225/45/18, will these alloys fit onto the newish tyre's i have or am i going to have to buy new rear tyre's? the car hasn't been lowered yet but just bought a JOM coilover kit.

Also will i need spacers?
Title: Re: Members Alloys
Post by: Wazzzer on 27 October 2013, 13:00: BBS RS reps. Your tyre size will fit those rims with a bit of stretch. Best not to get spacers until you've got them on so you can see what clearance you have left

Gonna disagree with you there Wez, 225/40/18 will give no stretch on 8.5J and only very minimal stretch on 9.5J. Those wheels have high offsets which means you'll need a spacer to clear the coilovers on the front, 5-10mm should do it.
Title: Re: Members Alloys
Post by: Kruga on 27 October 2013, 14:09: Thanks for the help guys, ill update this thread with some pics of the wheels when they arrive and how the car sit with the new coilovers on
Title: Re: Members Alloys
Post by: tdi_blu on 27 October 2013, 14:11: I also found 225,40,18 catch on the front pretty bad once you get your car pretty low so I went with a 215,35,18 on my fronts with a 5mm spacer to clear the coilovers think my offset is 42.My rears are 9s but stuck with the 225,40,18 not a massive stretch but still enough I was running 10mm spacers but with load in the back they caught the arche so I bought some 8mm which done the job.
