After market alloys - not alot of choice
« on: 26 January 2007, 22:46 »
I'm having trouble finding a decent set of 18" alloys for my 06/56 GT TDi 170. I want something like the ones in the pic below, but due to the high offset of the mk5, there isn't much on the market. Does anyone know where I can get a sensibly priced 18" wheel and tyre package ?

I have tried most of the firms that advertise on the bay, and although they're mostly pretty helpful, they all say the same thing - not much for your car mate !

btw - I got that pic off here a while back, so even though the pics look like they've come from over the pond, maybe the owner could give me the name of the wheels  :undecided:

Any pics of the gallardo reps?  I fancied some real ones but they're a bit pricey.  If the reps look as good then I'd get a set.

www.rochfordtyres.co.uk are very good. I bought a set for my mini. The prices are low and the delivery and service is first class.

I think BK Racing do a set similar to that in a variety of colours. I think the just released a black version. Hang on...

yep here we go. £755 including postage. Not bad. Take a look.

Spoken to 'bigally' a couple of times this week, and he has been very helpful. Well worth a call if you need anything
