Santiagos on a GTI as the Ausitns aren't pretty.
Nogaros on a GTD and revel in the fact that Santiagos look better but are a massive pain in the arse to clean and you've saved a grand. Plus your tyres will be much much cheaper on 18's.
Nogaros plus spacers look even better.

You're literally flushing a grand down the toilet with 19" alloys unless you plan on selling the car privately after xx number of years.

Go for the tech pack instead, or better still save the grand towards your next car which will probably only be a year or so away...  :whistle: :laugh:

So I went for your last suggestion, went for the Nagaros only and saved my £1000 towards the next car lol cheers bud
I just hope I last at least a year!!

William Hill wouldn't give me good odds on it!

19s all the way for me, doubly so if you buy a GTi as the Austin's are nasty.

I wanted to buy something I knew all the lease buyers wouldn't touch. :P

I went for them for that exact reason mate, seen a good few GTDs around and not one had the 19s, I like to be a bit different
