Why would you put pukeylagos on a GTI....... Why ?  :sick:
Why would you be a Jock-Canuk and support Spuds? Why?? Don't they have fitbah north of the Border?

Have you informed your insurance company that you've put non-standard wheels on the car? [Different offset will change the handling]
Yes I have. I'm a good boy like that. They didn't charge any extra either, nor for the LED tails. The different offset won't affect the handling too much and it's balanced out by being on all four wheels rather than just having spacers on the back like many have.

My fifth set of wheels for the GTI has just been fitted!  :evil:
Frog, this is what yours would have looked like if you had actually ordered silver.
Kev, okay, it looks like a Diesel, I apologise

Everyone else, at least you won't be moaning at me for having black wheels any more (for the time being at least).

Adieu  :smiley:

Yes indeed, they don't need much excuse to take more of your money do they? :cry:

Have you informed your insurance company that you've put non-standard wheels on the car? [Different offset will change the handling]

Thanks RickS, that's a good point and a reminder as I have been meaning to contact my insurance company regarding this. I'm sure it will be a great excuse for them to take some more money of me!

VWKEV You can't see past a GTI brochure..... if rocco's had Monza’s fitted as standard and GTI's had interlagos wheels as standard, you would probably be arguing the other way round.

Don't get me wrong if I'm honest I actually prefer the Monza's on my car, but for you to say the interlagos alloys look pukey is a bit sad imo.

in my opinion, it takes away from GTI styling a bit. However, it sure does look very elegant.

That's the comment I agree with most. I've been waiting for someone to put into words what I was otherwise incapable of deciding on myself.

The GTI with Monza wheels looks like a GTI sports model.

The GTI with VWR wheels looks like a little more hardcore.

The GTI with the rocco wheels looks more elegant - more understated.

Although I think the GTI suits the lagos better than a rocco suits monzas (perhaps we just have a better car ha ha :laugh:)
