Which wheel do you like from this list?

[Hurdy]

@Hurdy.
Good taste triumphs, sir and you definitely have excellent taste. Thank you.
Yes, the are the pick of the crop merging bling and style perfectly. Are you going to shod your new car with them? We could call ourselves the CS gas brigade!

CS5 SILVER: http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?ID=2065
CS5 BLACK: http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?ID=2067
CS5 ANTHRACITE: http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?ID=2066

Your recommendations for Tornado Red, Black and Silver cars please would be appreciated.

I am partial to the Silver and so is AGB for his black car. Jimmymature prefers the Anthracite for his silver car.

My car is also going to be black and I'll be going for CS5's in silver 7.5" X 17 and ET35  PCD 5 x 100mm.

Not ordered yet, so if they can do a price for mine as well (wheels only) then I'm in. Should give you a little more bargaining power

This is the price on Rimstyle for mine and includes the all important fitting kit, silver valve stems, locking wheel bolts AND delivery....£721.

I've looked most places and I don't reckon you'll get a better price than our Norn Iron guys, especially if you get a group buy going.
Haggle hard ladies.

I'll even dance for them naked without my suicide vest. 
@Alex: Let me do the bargaining. I am pretty adept. 

I shall leave it in your capable hands Asker. Remember to aim for buy one get one free. 

I think Jim is on board. Try and convince him even more at GTI International.
I really want those CS5s.

What do you think of these?

Very nice.... I really like the Ronnie 'Borbet' BS5' alloys. Been searching for a picture of them on a Mk6 GTI but had no luck.

Alex, Jim, Martin,
You should have got the e-mail from Rory of Performance Alloys regarding his best prices.
I tried my best to drive a hard bargain.
Hurdy's alloys are £660 inc VAT and postage.
Martin, the standard ET on the CS5s is 40. Machining them to ET45 costs extra as per e-mail from Rory.
The Silver CHs come with ET44 as standard so no machining necessary.

Hi Asker,

Were the specs the same as I posted for mine including the ET?

Machining them to ET45 who does that? And is there any impact on the warranty from BBS?



Cheers,


Jim

[Jimmymature]

@Jim: Machining done by BBS themselves, costs £60 and delivery takes 2 weeks.
@Hurdy: Exactly the specs you mentioned.

Contact: Rory McLornan, Rory@performancealloys.com, Tel 02894 465 151.

I'll order mine on Monday. 

Thanks Asker, knowing that BBS do it makes me feel loads better about it.  I guess the popular view is that 19" arent the preferred size and that 18"s are the way to go?

@Jim: Machining of the CS5 alloys from ET40 to ET45 is done by BBS themselves, costs £60 and delivery takes 2 weeks. 19" wheels cost more and so do the tyres. Stick with 18". They will answer a maiden's prayer quite nicely.

@Hurdy: Exactly the specs you mentioned. ET=35. £660 inc VAT and delivery.

@MAW: No need to machine the CH alloys in 18x8 as ET=50.

18x8:
CS5 Silver £900 (ET45), CS5 Anthracite £994 (ET45), CH Silver £1150 (ET50). All inc VAT and delivery.

Contact: Rory McLornan, Rory@performancealloys.com, Tel 02894 465 151.

My job is nearly done. I'll try and wrestle a few more quid off the price.
I'll order mine on Monday most probably.

I'd not disagree with any of those choices. 

Especially you Asker - you're going to be running yours as winter wheels thus could do with avoiding polished faced ones.
I can't wait to see the cars with them fitted - time for a mini meet and photoshoot - I propose the Autometrix track day at Castle Combe in July.  http://www.autometrix.co.uk/trackdays.html
