Title: 19" BBS CK's through at last
Post by: dubaiphil on 04 August 2008, 21:13: They're probably a bit too sparkly for the UK, but the ball polished CK's seem to be going down a treat in Dubai! I've had them on the car for 30km so far, and already had 2 GTI rubber neckers....

Those 18" Monza II's help hide the brake disks nicely! I'm eyeing up some Tarox or AP Racing kit as I type!

Hurdy - which Tarox did you go for? Can you PM me the costs? I'd be looking to get them ordered in the UK and shipped over to Dubai with stock for my company, so that would be the cheaper option.

Also - which pads are you using, front and back?

Here you go - Anthracite on a couple of cars for reference.

I was really torn between Anthracite and Ball Polished after seeing a few pics of TR GTI's with the grey wheels on, but made the right choice for the sunshine over here i think...

Anthracite's the way to go with Candy White!

Virtually everyone in my local VW club has black wheels (Rota's or OZ's) so I wanted silver to brighten things up a bit.

Typical - get some nice new wheels, gagging to take some outdoor photos, and we've got sandstorms - grr!

Post by: gazbutmk5gti on 07 August 2008, 18:41: Looks mint, what size tyres you using, ET44 8" width I take it. Also what drop are the springs 25mm?, what dampers are you using.
Sorry for all the questions :smiley:
Title: Re: 19" BBS CK's through at last
Post by: dubaiphil on 07 August 2008, 20:21: 19" x 8" on 225/35/19s.

Correct - the offset is 44mm, so no rubbing and fills the arches nicely.

The car's sitting on H&R GTI Cup springs, lowered by around 30mm, and I've got the front and rear anti roll bars updated as well
