Thanks Andy and what size tyres did you have fitted on those alloys?

p.s. I'm looking forward to seeing those CK's in the summer. Are they new alloys or brought second hand for a bit of a refurb project?

225/40/18s Martin. Contis all round.


I sent you a PM about the CKs back along Martin, at least I sent it somewhere! Maybe it's lost in cyberspace. They were second hand but in excellent condition.

Out of interest as I fancy getting some BBS CH's alloys at some point down the line but do the BBS wheels poke out on the front and the rear.

They don't stick out at all...they fit properly. They don't catch or scuff, even on full lock, on a lowered GTI. BBS CH025s.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.
