New Wheels on my wagon...

[Soundwave]

Finally got them on last saturday...

18" Golf R32 Replicas

I love them, think they really suit the car...just a shame about the tyres that came with part of the package, they suck so hard

They will be perfect when I get new tyres on them but at the moment they do the job

So guys what do you think

Don't be trusting them tyres for anything.

Suit the colour of your car, but not my cup of tea.

 

[james walker]

again look okay but a bit max powerish for me....

as said lose the tyres, sell them while there new and look at faalken 452s, 60 quid a corner and very good...

hmmm i gotta sayi dont like the wheels but then again i dont like many multi spoke wheels.. prob would look alot better all dimond cut and black inserts

 

[1.9...stefan]

!!! GOOD CHOICE!!! Same as mine just mine are all silver

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

they fill the arch nicely and look larger than 18s, needs to be lower imo, not keen on colour thou all black or silver on these for me.

 

[MK8]

IMO they dont suit the car. original at least. sorry!

Bums

There was me thinking they looked good lol

To be honest the pics dont do them much justice they do look better in the flesh IMO.
When I originally saw them in pictures I wasnt a fan but when I saw them in store in the flesh I thought they looked awesome & was the reason I went for them.

James,

I'm planning a change of tyre to either Falken 452's or ZE912's (See my tyre thread from yesterday )

Danny,

I'm off to AMD in a couple of weeks time to look at getting it lower slightly if possible.
Before I looked at the pics I thought the 30mm drop on the AP Coilovers was enough but now I'm not so sure.
I dont want to go too low because it's a daily driver & round my way the council has gone mental with Speed Bumps so dont want it to cause to many problems for driving it.

Anyway thanks for the opinions guys

Nice!!!!!

I know what you mean with the speedbumps same round my way, you can always find your perfect height by playing around with the coilovers,to find a happy medium of stance and practicality

Nice!!!!!

Thank you

I'm deffinitley going to have a word with AMD about possibly dropping the front slightly...not sure on the rear though as I already have a ton of sub box in the boot & putting people in the back can cause some nocking from the exhaust so not convinced it should go any lower, but I'll get them to have a look anyway

I think they looks good. Can the car be lowered a little Neil?

As its got a polished face make sure you don't use any acidic wheel cleaners. In fact just use soap and water. If they do get really mucky and get tar on them PM me so I can advise. You sealed them already havent you?

I hope the car is just dirty in those pics?

faalken 452s are £60 a corner?!? ***
i have some scudo scuderias or whatever they are called on mine and they were £60 a corner and seem to slip at every junction.

 

[LEE69]

You'll have more grip just running on rims than them

 

[cupra.rich]

i have the michelin pilot sports with only a few mm of tread left and they are amzing for grip!

You honestly dont want to know Maz

I had just cleaned it before I took the pics...so difficult without a hose & just watering cans to rinse before & after
The roads round here are a bloody state...the film of grime that is on the car by the end of the week is nothing short of disgusting

Havent sealed them yet...just waiting for the Wheel Guard to arrive.

As for lowering...I'm hoping the front can come down a few more mm but I'll have to wait & hear what AMD say before I do try anything.
