Guys,

As i promised a before and after of my VW Golf GTi Turbo, since ive dropped and put rims on the car it looks dirty, everyones clocking it, i love the way it drives now, really nice hugs the road.

I cant wait until next week, get my remap, DV and CAI kit all fitted, should be very nice.

Sorry but those wheels are horrid.

[bobbarley]

I love the drop, but I really dislike those wheels sorry mate.

Everyones got there preferences, the wheels i brought are the 18" New R32 Black and polish, i tried everything out there with my car esp since its blue and these look best.

When you see the car for real the wheels do suite the car. When i purchased the rims i was looking at RS4 New black and polish as soon as the sales guy put the rims near my car they didnt look right, everyone including the sales guy that seen the car says it looks dirty well mean with the wheels i have now

When i asked them about the wheels all were saying the look sweet for the car. From the pic you cannot see properly since its really sunny today, basically in between the silver there are black spokes as well.

I gave all to mechanic the JOM coilovers and rims the only problem had was driver side front wheel driveshaft rubbing on arbs, i went back to mechanic and he turned it up 3 notches now all is perfect.

Some advise me i should get new ARBs, bushes, droplinks, they say it will be more better to drive if i do this even though now i love it.

I cant wait for remap, dv and CAI, I guess its not everyones taste, thanks for input.

those are 18s? they look huge..

personally i would've gone with all black rims, would go well with your tints... which are going to get you in a whole heap of sh!t with the rozzers at some point

  @ the tint polis

Funny you say that, my tints are smoked all the way round, ive seen some people have really dark at rear windows and back main windows and nothing at the front windows which i think looks stupid. i prefer it looking the same all the way round, my tints are not full on black, you can actually see inside the car and make out the steering, gear nob etc.

This past week since ive got it lowered and rims a few rozzers have clocked me but touch on wood not done anything.

Wierd you say i might get pulled by the polis, theres a guy i know peugeot 306 lowered + rims and his tints are full on black all the way round and hes had the car for ages around good 3 to 4years, seems like hes never been questioned about his tints, its probably luck, i think if your car looks out ragous and stands out from the crowd then mate yours gonna get pulled.

I saw a program on telly a few weeks ago and coppers pulled the middle aged mum in here ford mondeo new type, she had full tints all the way round, cops gave her a probition notice while he was serving her the other cop went inside the car and pulled of the front tints, i just thought outrageous, i thought you were meant to do it yourself.
