Going back and forth on the wheel front.

Thanks for the info, I thought 8.5J might give trouble, and I prefer subtlety rather than the Carlos Fandango look or 'stance', a word I hate with a passion, . I have kept an eye open on fleabay for what seems like ages, I am fed up with putting in BBS 19 Used and seeing that set of wheels for a Jap import at £2500 that must have been on there a year  :grin:

At least with BBS you get a good price back should you choose to sell, it has to be the sensible option, I just need to make a decision for once, or do I, oh I don't know .....

Lol, you sure it's your wife's car  :grin:  does she get a say? or couldn't she care less!!  :laugh:

I just love cars  :grin:

I remapped her Mk5 and put an exhaust on it for valentine's one year, didn't go down too well, accused me of spoiling it.  :whistle:

She has final say, then I ignore it. I can't help it, they are so damn good you can't help but want to play  :smiley:

You're a lucky man.  Keep the mods tasteful and I'm sure she'll be happy and leave you to play  :wink:

I have just sat here, showed her the VMR's, she turned her nose up, showed her the BBS and she didn't like them, and then the Glendales and she said 'them'. Sort of decides it me thinks......

Raffe, what springs have you got on yours to sit like that ?

She must have good taste.  I like Glendales but am biased  :laugh:

Probably more than many admit to, that said I love that I only drive it at weekends as it feels like a proper hot hatch compared to the Bimmer :cool:

Mark - Eibach Sportlines, it sits perfectly with about a finger width above the top of the tyre.

Looks just right, I like Eibach stuff, got them on my Fiat 500. Reckon I will go with some.
I was looking at some VWR springs and those guys say that Eibach make them.
