Going to admit that I'm not a fan of the look either  :sad: They look a bit cheap and plasticy  :sad:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

....

Wow!! 35 people got it wrong!!

I would rather reserve judgement until I see them but there's nothing I see which I don't like.

And what we all want to know is what Insp.Dribble has won!? :shocked:

Nice to see you have joined the TD clan mate..  :wink: Would have had them in black or anthracite to be fair, as think the silver look totally different to the darker colours for some stramge reason..  :huh:

nice wheel, but I to think they would look better black or dark grey, looks a more exclusive wheel in black

I have already changed the red lip to silver on my CHs and was very easy

oh and I guessed correctly to

Ooooooh, not a lot of lovers then :cry:

Never mind, I bought them for myself as everyone says. The performance feature was more the issue for me, rather than bling (for a change)

You cannot be too careful with what wheels you choose as an aftermarket upgrade. Even performance alloys such as OZ are now cast in China and sent to Europe for finishing otherwise I would have probably gone for some Ultraleggera's. :nerd:

At the pricepoint they are an awesome wheel that I don't have to get too precious about if I kerb them, just buy a replacement and move on :wink:. My plan is to do several trackdays next year including the 'ring and so these wheels are perfect for this use (would have a hissy fit if I'd bought Work VS-XX and kerbed them :lipsrsealed:)

I hope you can all see beyond the looks alone and see my reasoning behind my ultimate choice :cool:

They’re not bad, but not my type, would have gone more for looks, Completely understand where your coming from though and 3kg a wheel is crazy!
Definitely get it lower!

well its not for me either Im afraid sorry. But as you say that makes no odds.
Good on you for sharing. :cool:
The huge unsprung weight diff is really a plus , can def see that.
I bet the car 'feels' quite a bit different.
I reckon you should have these for track (with semi slicks road tyres) and a set of volks for posing  :wink:
