nice wheels, i'm a bit half and half on them, but for the performance factor they would be well worth it.
does the car feel/handle any differently?
oh, and I take you go them from billy boy tyres?

hmm half and half, i would get them resparyed anthracite and lower the car a tad and i think it might look better
I think alloys are a really hard item to carry of in pics if you get me.Understand why you chose them though.

Yeah, purchased from Billyboys :cool:

I haven't had much of a chance to really give them a proper work out, but there is a positive difference although I'm not sure if it is the new alloys or the tyres. Once it dries out up here, I'll let the horsies loose for a play :evil:

Te be honest, I don't like 98% of aftermarket tyres for the Golf GTI unless made by BBS.  These are no exception.  However, I am intrigued by the effects on performance and if they do enhance it, then its a good mod.  Only thing is, why can't performance alloy manufacturers make decent designs like BBS do?

I can understand that Illyun.

Mods fall into one of two camps usually

1.Visual mods

2.Performance mods

It is very rare that you get that ultimate mod which covers both aspescts :wink:

Ah, yes, but even then people will be split over APR TBE and there are several makes of bonnets and coilovers (and some makes of coilovers will be  :sick:) :wink:

I am not fan of these rims either, despite them being light and all. Look too common to me (similar to many others, hard to distinguish from distance).
I was at Oettinger yesterday, saw a white and a black TTs with Oettinger RXX charcoal 19-inchers. I do not know how much they weigh, but they look very nice, with a stylish "Oettinger" cut into one of the spokes.

Maybe drop it a tad lower though?
