They look great and will look awesome on the car, which size did you go for? I like a bit of concave aspect on wheels too although at the min I keep getting obsessed with the Watkins Glen Ed35 wheels only to talk myself out of it when I see the price lol  :laugh:


Went for 18" in the end. Looked at images of the wheels on cars and they do look good. Was gunna go for team dynamics imolas but these being the same design with a better middle and concaved swayed it for me. Concaved wheels have a unique stance for me.

:cool:

What size did you go for in the end?  What colour is your car?  Post some pics when they're on.

I went for the 18" matt graphite. My cars a 3 dr tornado red. I'll definitely post some pics.

Red and grey is a beautiful combination,  they'll look stunning  :cool:

You'll have to be more discreet next time, I doubt it'll be your last car purchase.  My bloke knows better than to question what I buy for my car (my hard earned cash anyway) but I do get a knowing look when the various parcels arrive  :grin:

Ha ha. Next time I'll be a purchase ninja  :smug:  Too be fair I'm glad she did because I don't know how I'd sneak 4 alloys with tyres into the house  :whistle:

19" once had an 09 plate Typre R and put a set of 19" rage alloys on, looked good but reminded me of my X plate XR3 over the potholes! you may need a neck brace! Sometimes your old comfy leather sofa better to sit on than a plank of wood!

Clicked on the link, yip they're nice. I'm in a bit of a fix myself. Hit the kerb both fronts, when i ordered the replica "Rs" they didn't have the same offest as the ones on my GT140 and the paint was a brilliant silver, so am no too fussed. What i what to put on are the new Golf R alloys. I think they'll look good!

Look nice, i do wonder at the quality at that money?

I have a Black ed35 with the Glendales, asthectically very nice, ride quality.....I want a set of 18's. Mine are immaculate, would swap for the original 18" ed35 wheel if anyone knows of any. Maybe just sell mine and re buy the others. Any idea what they would worth or is there a decent market for the Glendale 19" ?
