@Rhyso - thanks Rhys!

@wigit - thanks Andy, I prefer them to the BBS on the mk7 too. They're about a kilo heavier per corner though!!!! and that's before the whiteworm sets in! I've stuck about three coats of sealant on them and now it's purely down to prayers and luck!

@Kyle - thanks and yes, they're 19's (wearing 235/35/19 Conti 3's) but don't look that big in photos. When you see them on the car side on they look quite big, the photos disguise the lines of the car a lot.

They look great Exonian.
I was thinking along the same lines but going for the Serron alloys as winters.

Thanks P3
I really like the Serrons but they're big ££. Mak do a similar design but a bit more aggressive styling called 'Wolf' which comes in 18" VW fitment and takes original caps and bolts. They do them in various colours.
Or RH (German) do a 'DF Energy' wheel up to 18" diameter too which looks good.
