Sandtrap - they really suit the car and are surprisingly more subtle than I was expecting. Great choice!

I think they look good Sandtrap. Nice to see something a bit different. I also like your Santiagos better than the factory diamond cut version.

The OCD in me would apply some tyre dressing to the new tyres though and clean the white rubber bead sealant off from around the edge of the tyre :grin:.

 Yes they were just fitted and tested .. get her all clean in the morning .. Santiagos will go back on for winter .. maybe get some 215/35/19 winters for them  ..

Checked the weight and the revo wheels are 2.5kg lighter than the Santiagos!  This will make a reall difference to the driving .

Cheers Darren

Good going getting them fitted so soon :afro:
They look really good and you have an enviable choice of options.  :cool:
The colour is distinctive yet subtle and they fill the arches out perfectly.

They look absolutely stunning, might have to change my mind on the gloss bronze ones I was thinking of.

Looks fantastic, keep the photos coming. Are you lowered and do you have spacers?

I really do like those. I've not seen many cars in the metal with bronze alloys but they do look good and IMO the simple 10 spoke design suits the mk7 Golf.

Good choice, Sandtrap.
