MK6 GTI Replica Alloys??

[Dannyboy90]

Currently running standard, but within the next 2 weeks I will be running 180-190 ... that a problem?

[AlanD]

lol no course not. Was just asking as obviusly the more power, the better stopping / tyre grip your going to want. With 150 you can get away without haveing to spend big money I think on tyres (IMO).

As Rhyso said the Vredstein's are pretty good and Iv heard nothing but good things about them and are a decent price.

[Dannyboy90]

Ah right, well thats good to hear, i'm prob going to wait a bit before i got my tyres

[AlanD]

Have you got 18s now then?

[Dannyboy90]

Opps, I meant Alloys, sorry at work and was talking to my mate at the same time as typing Lol.

Nah I've not got them yet, Ive only recently bought my GTI and repaying the loan, had the loan for 1 month and already paid off half of it. (£1000) so i'm hoping 2-3 months I can get me some alloys

Got my air filter on way, then going to get forge 007p. Then got some cosmetic matters to deal with

Needs the following:

2x Wing mirror covers (£16 quid each on ebay)

1x New rear centre console as mines got a crack (Already bought just need to fit)

1x Rear ash tray as mines broke (£15)

Also need to get my head unit linked up to my CD Changer I bought with the cable I bought.... Just dont want to fit it myself as I'm bad with stuff like this and love my car to much LOL. Costing £30 for fitting

Having it remapped by a personal friend off the books . (£0)

Then going to get me my alloys when loans repayed.

[AlanD]

Oh right, fair enough.

Hope it all goes well

[Dannyboy90]

Cheers,


I'll put up some posts of my car soon, seeing as everyone else has. 4 months ago it had a full body respray. So the silver looks awesome. Only thing is, idiot owner before me has damaged both wing mirrors since. So hence why im havin to repair them myself.


So we think I should get the Replica alloys or not? Seems we got mixed views on them atm

[Stronz]

I think they look alright.

I remember seeing a white mk4 running on MK5 rims which aren't a million miles from what you want. It looked cool.

[AlanD]

Problem with alloys is they are a very personal thing so what some people might like others don't.

My wheels of choice for the MK4 are either BBS RCs, BBS LMs or BBD CHs (CHs being the numero uno) but thats just what I like and if we all had them wheels it would be pretty boring.

[Dannyboy90]

Yeah true that, I think to be honest I will go for them, even though they are replica's and cheap :O Lol. They look pretty sweet I wreckon, and no1 near me has them so not to worried
