Yes mine are 19inch, the rides not to bad but driving rouind Wales this week you do notice them. Have now done just over 700miles(week off work) in a week, run out of money to spend on V power, so just going to do my normal run to and from work.
Did you go for ACC? I test drove an R with 19" and ACC and around town it was very much ok. But I didn't want to push my luck so I settled for 18".
Well, the good news is my car is ready for collection for Friday. It was supposed to be 3 more weeks but there it is. Confused.com :shocked:

I have just seen an R in Shadow Blue OMG it looked absolutely awesome.

Sorry to all you guys with Rising Damp Blue  :wink: but Shadow Blue has to be the way to go, it just looks much more classy somehow, I want, I want.

Thanks for the coments. To be honest Rising blue seems to very rare with a lot of people going for either grey or white. I like it :smiley:

I did not get the ACC as a lot of the magazines have said the car rides better with out it. To be honest I think it is a bit off a gimic.  Yes it does get a bit bouncy, but not a lot more than my GTI mk5 with its 18s. To be honest I am very impressed with the car and the way it rides on 19s. I am at 870miles, not long to for the 1000s and then I can start to open her up.  :shocked:

OMG what have you done? The ACC cultist's will be along soon to set you straight  :smug:

I on the other hand agree I can't speak for the R but IMO the GTI doesnt need ACC.
