Poorboys or Gtechniq c5, I’ve found both to be fantastic. Dirt and brake dust just falls off with a pressure wash

They are probably coming from CM wheels as I have to pass by them tomorrow. I will have a look...

Out of interest do CM Wheels fit tyres on to their wheels if asked?

clarky92. I like Prets but prefer 18s so they will be reps. My neighbour has an R with silver Prets - I wouldn’t want him to think I am copying him. ¡GTIs para mi! :whistle:

I will be advertising some BBS SR wheels later today which are surplus to requirements.

They are 19 inch X 8.5J with offset ET46 finished in Satin Grey.

Update  I have now bought a set of 18” Reifnitz in satin gunmetal which I collected from CM wheels today. Please see the pictures below to get an idea of how they look with Indium Grey. They still need to be protected/coated, shod and balanced so they will not be on right away. I also looked at a set of matt gun metal 18” replica Pretorias which were striking but not for me. They tell me this is the first batch they have had of the gunmetal Pret.

P3ASA to answer your query, they do not fit tyres. I was told that due to shipping costs there would be no saving on tyres that purchasers could obtain locally and most buyers would not buy budget tyres but specify performance tyres. There were certainly no tyres or fitting equipment in the areas I saw.

@Ceefeesh - They look really great :cool:. Love the colour, but then I’m slightly biased as my last two sets of wheels have been anthracite grey.

Look forward to seeing them on your car.

SRGTD. Thank you. I will post but for a variety of reasons likely to be 3 - 4weeks.
