I don't like them. Never have done.
And an absolute pain in the bum to clean.

On that I agree 100% the Pro Race 1.2's are superb on the MK6, second only to BBS CH.

No. Definitely NO. Don't like those old chariot looks whatever the colour.  :lipsrsealed:
They'll be pigs to clean.  :sick:

The car in the garage looks like a 106 of some form.

Yes the mk6 with R32s on are my winter wheels, which i was going to get done in Gunmetal but never got around to it,
Not happy with the silver look thou  :undecided:

Neil, what's the yellow car in your garage with the black bonnet.... looks like some sort of Jap track car?

+1 an Anthracite / gun metal finish would be the way to go with the R32's wheels on the mk6. I really like the style of the wheels ( although I bet there F*ckers to clean )  :smiley:

As Gilly said it was my sons Pug 106  :grin: :grin: spent a fortune on it, not got it anymore, he saw sense and got a vw  :wink:



Still planning on getting the R32s done in Gunmetal but dont know if they will go over the R8 brakes  :rolleyes:

Neil you are practically half my age and I have not stopped having and getting it   ..... if and when I can ........ which is nearly never ........ except abroad ........ where I seldom venture due to my bad arm ..... which prevents me having flexibility ........ which causes me to post so often on this forum ..... as it is the only fun I can obtain ...... for now ...... :sad: :sick:

CH's all the way in comparison to the R32's wheels in all fairness. Glad to see your sons seen the light and gone vw as well. Did you threaten to throw him out for owning a Pug?  The cars look great together on the drive and at least you can show him who's still the daddy with the Mk6   :evil:
