Thanks mate! Actually it feels the same, the main difference was the wheels/tyres but the springs don't seem any harder. Just have to be a little more carefull over the speed bumps! :smiley:
ST wheels?!?!?! :tongue:

Thanks Phil! ( I happen to love my 'A-Team' wheels thank you! :tongue:)
Im afraid to say after seeing the pics in the press this week I was quite chuffed as it didn't look too different and didn't hanker after one! But my god it has some presence in the flesh! :shocked: And it was a red one I saw :wink:

There was still something about your old wheels though - they were different, and they worked so well with your car.
Don't read this as me saying I prefer your old ones - the best way to put it is ... both sets look absolutely brilliant in their own ways. :smiley: :smiley:

Similar but not the same mate. Try googling a Lambo Gallardo :wink:

The 'old' ones are most definately staying and will be back on the car come the spring. As much as I love the new wheels the huffs are the DNA of my car!
Thanks the kind words though WhiteGTI :wink:

Bingo!
No offence taken pal :wink: I've had them painted in a dark anthracite and now you say it the colour does make them look a bit ST which is no bad thing as I happen to think they are lovely wheels.
-
Wonder what they would look like white? Anyone want to photoshop?
-
Very very nice Greenouse, you sure do have very good taste in wheels :smiley:

I'll say it - those lambo wheels work on the lambo. Not convinced it works on the GTI. Horses for courses I guess.
Loved the old wheels though - what happened to them?
Love the rest of the car, esp the red lip.
-
Looks absolutely stunning mate, excellent choice of wheels, especially like them in anthracite, most people would just leave them silver. :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
very shiney! good effort! :grin:
but not sure on the wheels...

Greenouse,
Am i correct in thinking the correct termanology is powder coating NOT painting? Seriously thinking about getting me RS4S done after seeing them. :cool:
How much did it cost you mate and what colour are they?
Cheers
Chris.

think he had them painted, powder coating is when a powder is applied to the wheels whilst an electric current is passed through the wheel, the wheels are then baked a little, i actually prefer the paint finish as it is generally smoother and looks better, but powder coat is more durable
-
Mate that is absolutely stunning !! :evil:
Are they reps or genuine front Gallardo wheels ?, either way different and stunning ! :cool:
Where can i get a set from and for how much ?

Cheers for the answer Shaun :wink:
They actually cost me nowt to get painted as I have a mate who owns a bodyshop. I asked him for a dark anthracite and he acheived the colour with a silver base and five layers of black laquer. He did ask me not to kurb them as he'd struggle to re-create the match :embarassed:Mate that is absolutely stunning !! :evil:
