Thanks Mac and Phil  :smiley:

A couple more. My camera keeps throwing fits and putting a blue tinge on photos. Grrrr, it's an accident not trying to be arty!

Andy my friend,

Congratulations!

What a beautiful set of Jimmy Choo's. Suit the body to a T.
What make is the rubber?
Now don't sprain an ankle, dear.

Can you not photoshop that Porker and delete it! No don't. The GTI makes the Porker look a real Porker.

Enjoy my PM! :wink:

Cheers for the PM Asker, you've been a busy bunny!  :wink:

The rubber is Falken FK452s (I wondered how long it would be before this was asked!), 225/35/19s. Seems to do the trick of sticking the car to the road thus far in the little mileage I've done with them on there. One thing I will say about them is that they are NOISY. Mind you that should drown out my wife's passenger seat driving wisdom........ :smug:

The wheels look fantasitc Andy..... Very very nice indeed and I'm green wirh envy! Theres a number of wheels types and styles available for the GTi but none suit the car better than a set of BBS. BBS are pricey but you get what you pay for in the end.

Those 19's also fill the wheel arches well as others have pointed out.

Ps Can I have first refusal on them when you get round to changing them again :-)

So far so good Snooze. Only done a limited amount of miles on them, basically from the workshop back home and then popped to a local VW meet this morning and back home. No nasties so far and much of that mileage was done with another set of wheels in the back

Ooooh you rubber fetishist you!  :grin: You should have been in the car sniffing that rubber earlier on today, mmmmm  :laugh:
The Falkens were already on there when I bought them, and as they're almost new they can stay there. I think a decent set of tyres would be wasted on me with the limited use the car gets.
