Thanks Martin, I am fitting them to a carbon GTI, I agree they suit a dark coloured car better, I do also like the sound of them being in anthracite. The rear tyres are still good but the ones that were on the front will need changed so sounds like the best option will be to go with the 225s on the front which should any potential for rubbing issues. Thanks for your input.

Sounds good to me...... make sure you post some pictures when you have had them fitted  :smiley:

FFS its been a stressful day with regard to getting my new wheels fitted. I dropped them in at the tyre fitters and apparently the wheels need a special metal tyre valve from vw. So a trip over to vw battersea to pick the valves up and then back to the tyre fitters. Thinking problem solved it wasn't as there are two different types of metal
valves (and I've got the wrong bloody ones). Battersea of course didn't have stock of the other type so I've had to order these in. So it will be a few days now till I can put the new wheels on. Aaaghhh

Oh well... The wheel suspense continues....

Sorry about your valveless search but your luck will improve once you delete the Interlagos wheels from your signature. :evil: :grin:

I will pray for thee, brother. :smiley:

^ Stop repeating yourself....!  :smiley:

I've decided just to swap the tyres from my existing shadows on to the new wheels.....  as I just aswell run those tyres into the ground as there is still plenty of tread left and treat my self to some sexy new boots in the summer.

I've just given my new wheels a nice polish and wax ready for their imminent fitment. I just got to wait on VW now to get me these bloody valves.

The wheel whore is getting very impatient  :cry: and Gilly of course let us all down with the standard 17 wheels post yesterday.  :grin:

Good idea.
Silver Monza Shadows will have Contis or Micheys I presume eventually?

Those Intersexual wheels are doing my head in. :cry:

Perfect choice IMO. Very good price too. Can you PM me where you are getting and fitting them? I am going to ditch the Bridgestones soon. Pretty rubbish.
