Looks great!   :cool:

I have a set of 1.2s albeit in non VWR poverty spec that I had as track wheels on the ed30, tempted to try them on the mk6 now!

Out of interest what suspension you running, sits nice  :smiley:

Thanks Beddie, it's on VWR springs - as you can see, the car looks more purposeful and the ride has not been compromised whatsoever!

Yeah shadows are hard to beat on the MK6 platform. If they hadnt been standard on MK5 & MK6 I bet they would have sold a bucket load. People just want to change from OEM.

I think the only problem with the TD 1.2 / VWR wheels, they really highlight how small the brakes are, especially the rear.....where is it?

Shadows do a great job oh hiding the size.

couldn't agree more there. shadows work wonders with hiding the rear calibers and look amazing IMO.  But also wouldn't discount how good the VWRs look too.  Much look a charm in combo with tornado red
