What alloys has Hurdy bought? Now with pics!

My opinion and not positive im afraid....

Completely devalues the look of the car in my vew. Looks like a bog standard Golf that some lad has pieced together to look like a GTi.

But that's based completely on looks. Performance wise, well above my Ed30. 3kg a wheel is quite impressive over so called BBS lightweight alloys.

I dont think that it looks good, BUT, I will reserve full judgement until I see it in real life - I'm all too aware of how you can never really tell from a photograph.

For sure though, the weight saving, warranty and bolt strengthening is a huge factor - so for the overall results when taken into account with your other (and future) modifications, I think you've made a great choice.

Need some spacers on the back and another 15mm drop on those coilies

Here we are....who guessed right then?







My reasoning behind the purchase

Wanted some decent quality lightweight 18" wheels and tyres for under £1k

I asked for an addition to the alloys too. They can do steel inserts that are built into the alloys and strengthen the bolting area for cars with higher performance, so these were incorporated too.

Wheels are 19.8lb which is a saving of 6.7lb (3kg) per wheel.

They are built in the UK to competition specs and come with a 2 year warranty against manufacturing faults.

They open up the brake area at the front of the car nicely too.

I decided against Black as I thought the silver would match better (which I think it does quite well)

My dad's inherited modding pot still has room for a few more bits before I have to delve into any joint savings

I dont like them on there sorry mate just my opinion. As long as your happy with em thats all that matters 

[Rollini]

not a massive fan of most wheels out there but these give the image of performance over style (not that they are gross or anything) so i think it works

[joesgti]

sorry john, dont want to echo what everyone has said but not for me, i think your car looks toooooo silver, fair enough its a cooool performence mod but i defo would have gone with a nice 19, even lm reps over thows. sorry mate and im just saying this coz im your pal but what were you thinking? id prefere the 18 ch's (std wheels) powdercoated black, just my opinion so dont take it to heart. as long as your happy then thats al that matters

[joesgti]

oh and just to add, id take a lil more advantage of owning coilovers, your car looks higer on those than std, personally id drop it down a lil (10mm-15mm) and get them sprayed gunmetal, would look alot better
