Pretty much the sickest wheels ever IMO. I have a friend running them on his LCR on air, such a unique look!

Got to get them on now, they look quality on the mk4's and 5's.  I thought they would look pretty good,that has just confirmed it.
Where is the best place ( cheap :wink:)to get uprated gas shocks to go with the springs i have.

For a everyday / usable car run 8x18 with 225/40/18's all round (et35) these with a 40mm drop is a spot on setup.
