Thanks again ;-)

Phil, if fuel prices and car tax keep rising I might just accept that offer!

Greenouse, touché, looking forward to seeing your car chap.

Carl1, glad you're reading the blog hehe. I agree it needs a drop (KW V3 or Bilstein PSS10) but I'm bankrupt now!

Thanks. It's dark by the time I get home but I should have some more photos over the weekend. Including a few snaps of my newly fitted Milltek exhaust :evil:

Ps. Sorry to the OP for hijacking a bit. Hopefully the pics will help you reach a decision. If you buy them from PW Motorsport I reckon Philip owes me £50 ;-)

I am running BBS CH wheels in 19".  The ride hasn't changed much and there is no rubbing at all.  The only thing is that I now understeer more than on the 18"s.  Saying that on a day to day basis, this isn't a problem.  I hope to change that though with KW v3's and a Quaife ATB and possibly uprated ARB's.  Not that all that is needed :smiley:


did you mean 18's


I have toyo proxy tr-1's on the 19"'s
Yes I ment 18".  They where the Monza 2's

The thing is when EVO mag did a tyre test quite a few months ago,  they found the GTI on 17" wheels lapped 2 seconds faster than on the 18" wheels.
Doesn't look good for the 19"s on the track at least.

what effect will 19" wheels have on the ride and handling? i've seen some 19" bbs ch  on ebay for £1379 and am tempted. will they rub on anything in the arches? my wife has trashed 3 pescaras, so i want to take them off and have them properly refurbished  and put them back on when i sell it.
...........they look mint mate BUT !!!!!!!!!!!you'r wife has trashed 3 of you'r pescaras!!!! & you then spend £1379 on wheel's that are an inch bigger!!.If my wife curbed my alloys it would be a change to 10'' alloys with 300 profile tyres to protect against curb damage. :grin: :wink:
