help me choose and buy wheels please
« on: 17 January 2011, 17:28 »
Right I am so close to buying some schmidt 3 piece modern lines! But then I looked at 2 piece th lines. What to get right? Well I've chosen the modern lines but it got me thinking what else is out there? Am I going regret this because as you know they ain't cheap.

So what else is out there? I want 8" et20 front and 9" et15 rear I've got £2000 for wheels and tyres and they have to be no bigger than 16" I have mk3 gti

rotiform are to much for what I want  :cry:

So get thinking dudes and post some pics

The schmidts are being made  :smiley: can't remember front et but have to run spacer to clear the caliper and with spacer the et is 20 up front and the rear et is 21. Also they are made with the chrome bolts and the gold ones come in a bag  :sad: should be one to two weeks
