Just a few of my GTI treated her to freshly refurbed alloys new tyres, new discs and pads all round and a Milltek non res cat back exhaust. :)

I brought the wheels already refurbed from a place near Preston called rhino alloys they were advertising them freshly refurbed on eBay, the discs are Tarox sport Japan with standard pagid pads as I'm not particularly heavy on brakes the discs are for looks.

BlinGtiles think I paid £500 for the wheels, it was a few months ago, sure they were advertised at£600 on eBay but I dealt with them without going through eBay and got them cheaper.

I was going to ask what the disks were. I wanted to do the same for the looks

Me personally, I wouldn't fit drilled disks as they're prone to cracking. You want good ones, though tarox have a good reputation so I can't see there being an issue on a road car. (It's not braking for mulsanne corner)

Yeah they can be prone with cracking but only with really heavy use.
For me, it's more about looks
