Title: techart alloys
Post by: jonathonturner on 07 August 2007, 12:28

i quite fancy the idea of sticking 19" techart formula alloys on the golf...painted black with the silver lip...

what would i need in order to do this over and above the wheels?

these are the puppies  :evil:

11" wide rears - I doubt if they would fit.

I asked whether or not I should put some 18" 5 spokes on my car about a week ago, which weren't dissimilar to the ones you are showing (except they were silver) and the comments I got was  :sick: :sick: and Chav - go figure!

dont like Lm's...the guy i bought my CSL off had a spare set he used for shows and stuff....not really my thing so i left them and kept it on stock CSL wheels...a good descision i think.

i'm looking for something different..was considering some gallardo wheels,i saw some on an S4 avant and they looked mint... but loads of aftermarket companies are doing them now, so i've gone off that idea...

the techart ones look mean and will look nice on, against the grey paint with the red calipers.

will need some monster spacers for the rears, or possibly a complete transplant, in which case i wont bother.

just thought they might look trick.
