Just trying to catch up with some threads I've not seen in a while! Looking forward to seeing the wheels properly :cool:

Thanks man :) i've just started new job today and don't get paid for 7 weeks so may start off a little slow again but will get there ;) want wheels on by next week ideally, if demon tweeks pull their finger out and want to paint the car for edition but don't think that's going to happen :(

Rear tyres came today, a bit mashed up on the inside lip so not sure if they'll hold air :huh: bought from a lad on facebook, know who not to trust in the future.

Just need valves, also waiting on front tyres from demon tweeks.

MOT on saturday :)

225/40/14 on 10's

Just wanted to see if they would sit on the bead, they seem to fine so a bit of silicone on the inside should stop them leaking hopefully (if they do leak  that is) :)
I suddenly want 10j wheels on my golf. Look real good man!

Well rear tyres are still leaking, sort of... after ramming loads of gasket sealent in the bead (looks horrible) and some tyre weld, one's holding the others just gone flat after a few hours.

Also still no MOT :( he wouldn't do it because of de-cat.

But put i wanted to test fit and take it for a drive ;)

They sit pretty much perfect! Just need to source some more 225/40/14's because the guy ripped me off :(

So, is it the wheel causing the leak or the tyre then?
