New alloys for the R

[Mr GTD]

Look very nice John, very nice indeed!

[Neil gti]

been toying with a set of these or something similar on an oem theme for the 35

now get it lowered 

Once I've committed to what I want it will be on coilies, but not much lower. Probably 10-15mm max.

May want to think about the PS10s John (Did you have them on your Polo?)
I had the V3s and hated em so got rid and fitted the Bilstein PS10s, Love em to bits and incredible handling

I had B16 PSS10's on the Polo and the ED30. Before that I had Eibach's on the ED30 which were poo and basically wore out twice on the dampers in under a year! V3's have the same make damper body and so I wouldn't touch them. I'm considering the B16's, AST's or Ohlins, just need to decide.

Decisions decisions 
ASTs a bit of a harse ride for road ? Never been in a car with the Ohlins on but they sound expensive,
Id stick to what you know Billies all the way

Looks laveeelllyyyy! 

I feel black alloys go well on almost any colour car!

Hurrah! Someone that realises that a Mk5/6 humped on coilies completely buggers up the handling.
10-15 mm should do the trick nicely.

Nice wheels too...can't help but think I've seen them somewhere else recently

Yes, I want the coilies for damper adjustability on track as much as lowerage. A little extra never hurts, but slamming it can screw things up royally.

How heavy are the originals?

I had the optional 19" Talladega's on and they are just over 14kg a corner. Heavy ass alloys IMO and shouldn't really be on a performance Car. VW should know better!

Didn't realise the Tally's weighed that much! Sorry Hurdy, not a fan of black wheels myself - from a distance they look like steel wheels with the trims missing.

Nothing to be sorry about.  it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing.
