Looks good that mate and all red rears will look the nuts. Should get a few quid for your old wheels too.

Sorry, but I think I've seen them on too many T4s.

Unusual choice for a 'rado, but the T4 boys have ruined them for me...... plus they seem to spend their lives buckling them.  :lipsrsealed:

Looking good Nick.

Suit the car really well, I guess that must make the Corrado a timeless design if a modern style wheel looks that good on it.  :cool:

I was excited and not everyone reads the dub rides threads.

Yeah I've heard they buckle when fitted to the heavier end of the Dub range. I agree they are to quote chuff "played out" on MKIV's, MKIII's and T4's but I felt they really suit the Rado and were within my budget which LM reps or 17's BBS RS's certainly weren't.

As well as me liking them much much more than the rims it came on the car handles so much better with these fitted, they're the correct offset (the others weren't) and the tyres are better quality.

Think I've sold the passat mate!

Besides the rear is low enough and I've sourced some -10mm spring caps for the front so it should look spot on once they're fitted.
