Hi Phil,
Those look great, but the disks need some painting, bit of rust there mate

OMG . . . I'm now nursing a semi . . .  :embarassed:

BTW, what is the writing in your door mirror?  Some kind of Yank-like disclaimer? 

[NewGolf]

It all looks Arabic to me 

On the 3rd photo, thats a heck of a lot of balancing weights on the bottom of the wheel, are they all like that?

Just for T-T and RR.......   

BTW - youv'e got the wrong boots on.  Yours are Load Index 88, whereas the GTI needs the XL rated 91s !!

Lol - I know!  I'm contemplating BBK and uprated disks on the back at the moment - plent of space to fill....

The heat and humidity aren't too kind on brake disks over here....

T-T - I will try my best Arabic translation:

Objects in the rear view mirror appear closer than they actually are, Habibi.....

Looks Arabic to me 

Prolly looks Arabic because it is an Arabic country (at least I'm guessing Dubai is Arabic).

I was actually after the translation, because my keyboard don't have those characters on it, so I can't bung it in BabelFish.

So a load index of 88 means that I can only put a loading of upto 560kg on each corner, instead of 615kg with LI 91?  Is that really going to make much difference with a car that's only occasionally got two people in it, weighing 1.4 tonnes??

II will sue Tirerack.com if it does make a huge difference - they're Yanks, they'll settle......

Have you found anything which will fit?

I thought about putting R32 rears on mine, but you need the complete rear hubs, alloy hub carrier, bearings, CV joint housing . . . fook that!

East Anglian coastline ain't too good for em either - wanna swap locations?

Thought so - same as the nanny spoon feeding the Yanks need!  Thanks.
