Yea  :sad:I have heard a few guy's saying that on here , Also read a guy who seen them on a golf in the show room and thought they looked fantastic. :grin: at twelve hundred quid plus the tyres I can only hope they look good.
Seen a picture of a red Golf somewhere on this forum with them which I have to agree did not look good , but to me they looked as if they could have done with a good clean. Personally I think they look very sporty that's the reason I went for them.
Will up load pictures when the car arrives.
I'm putting Goodyear FI's on the Visions mostly because up in Scotland we get more than our fair share of rain and the F1's are great in the wet and dry.
Was in Glasgow recently. Freezing rain, snow, you name it. Wonderful resturants and very warm and friendly people as always. Stayed at Langs. Loved it.
Hope you are 100% sure of your choice. I like the Topaz 18" wheels. Easy too keep clean!
The tyre choice is very important for those severe weather conditions in Scotland. Goodyear tyres are excellent. Developed in Germany, I think.
Langs is a good stylish hotel. Whenever you are up in Glasgow and have spare time drop me a personal message and I will meet up with you for a beer as I'm not too far from there. I am in the offshore industry so might be away,then again might be home.

Will definitely take you up on your very kind invitation.
Most appreciative. :smiley:

Seen the Visions. They don't look too good in 'real life'.
Better have the 18" Monza Shadow, 18" Talladega, 18" Vancouver or 18" Topaz wheels. Not the Visions. I think there is a picture of Visions somewhere on this thread. They look a bit 'cheap'.
Sorry.

Are these they?



Not bad, but they don't look very OEM. More like aftermarket wheels...

The OZs look good Steve, maybe have 'em done over in anthracite or gloss black? They look huuuuge!

Is putting 19's on to your GTI not going to spoil the ride comfort and knock all your fillings out ?

Not necessarily.

Steve's got a set of 18s for everyday use anyway. 19s for special occasions isn't going to hurt.  :cool:

I'm not a fan, personally. They're too big and look aftermarket/tuning...

The coment about painting them black. Never understood why people put large black wheels on as you cannot see were the wheel ends and the tyre starts when the cars moving. May as well have more practical sized wheels if there blackish in colour.

I agree!  Get them powder coated in a dark anthracite colour - which would be similar price to a refurb, and they'd look  :cool:
Guy at work got his ST wheels powdercoated black for £180 for four... and they look brand new now.  They were kerbed all over the place before he did it.

Personally I think they make the car look like a basic Golf, ie nothing special!  The monzas at least scream out GTI I'm happy withe the look of my monzas.
