Come November, I shall remove the 19" wheels and.....

......give them to Kenny  :wink:

Funny man!  :evil:

I was thinking more along the lines of "I shall remove the 19" wheels, clean them up, apply numerous coats of Poorboys Sealant and store them on my wheel rack, in the lovely VW wheel bags I have, until the crappy Scottish winter passes"

Does that work for you Kenny?  :grin:

Should move away from the highlands to the sunny west coast! Sunshine alllll year round  :cool:  :tongue:

Plus it would mean I could jack your car up and whip your wheels off and leave you with a set of standard monzas  :sick:

Standard 18" standard monzas ?
I have a set of those with delivery miles on...in wheel bags, on my wheel rack!

Next to a set of anthracite powder coated 8" x 18" BBS CHs with my winter tyres on, also in wheel bags on my wheel rack...  :grin:

Might I be so bold and ask: How many sets of wheels do you have?
I've got one set and they are on my car. :embarassed:

4 sets?

Well, since you ask...

For the Mk6:
4 x 7.5"x18" Monza Shadows, with standard tyres.
4 x 8"x18" Anthracite powder coated BBS CHs with winter tyres.
4 x 8"x18" Anthracite powder coated BBS CHs (spares).
4 x 8.5"x19" VW Racing wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tyres on.
4 x *coming soon*  :grin:


For my Mk3 Anniversary:
4 x 7"x16" BBS RXIIs with Toyo T1R - summer.
4 x 7"x16" BBS RXIIs with Toyo R888 - trackday.
4 x 7"x16" BBS RXIIs - spare.
4 x 7"x16" BBS RXIIs - spare.
(all re-furbished and powder coated)

There's the odd spare alloy here and there too...nothing of any significance.

I have issues...I know.  :lipsrsealed:

I have so many, I had to have a wheel rack built.
I have now 'outgrown' my wheel rack...and have just commissioned an extension to be fabricated, to give me more space.

Before I started collecting Mk6 wheels!

I am having a drink to calm myself.
All so neat and tidy.
I bet your cars are immaculate before and after a drive whatever the weather.
Any other nuggets for us?
