A man after my own heart.

And it is so good to hear you're going to keep the red rocket, ooops, I'm beginning to sound like Asker, errr I mean the mk6.

I copy and pasted the fat fives for another guy on the mk5 forum as you need to be a member on the Scirocco forum. Not sure if they're your cup of tea but they are such an easy design to clean that they'd be ideal for winters:

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,34903.0.html

They are coullstar's wheels - Graeme Coull - a mate of mine, who was down at GTI International with us this year!

I did see them, but at 8.5" wide, the offset is a bit low to fit the Mk6, in my mind.
I'm not into this whole stretch/poke/tuck show boll*cks...and I know how close my 8.5" 192 are on a 52mm offset...so a 45mm offset will likely have them out of the arches.

Well spotted though...and if they were 8" wide, they'd be perfect winter wheels.
I wondered if you knew him being as he's local to you. He crops up on lots of forums.

Sold now too.  :smiley:

Neil

A few questions please: -

Are they genuine or replicas?
Are all the wheels in good nick (I'd expect so as I know you are particular!)
Presume these are 18s? What tyres size do they need?
What brand tyres did you have? I was looking at Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme for my winters


If I bought I could collect depending whereabouts in E Yorks you are - I'm in Huddersfield so straight down the 62...

Thanks
Adrian

Discussed with Adrian via PM today and we've agreed he should buy these from Neil.
Closer and easier for both parties.

Make it so  :grin:
