Thanks mate. The supplier ran out of matt black (which was what I originally wanted) but I'm very happy with the matt anthracite instead since they can appear matt black in low light conditionsOriginally posted by zei20t View Postwow, wheels look fantastic!
yellow with matt-black rims is always a winner. good work!

Factories.
Never wanna go over 18" on my RS... Hit an enormous pot hole about half an hour ago - left a scratch. These country roads just aren't built for themz wheelz.
Besides, I want a set of anthracite wheels.
Now to get an air gun and hydraulic jack.

I was originally thinking of repainting the factory wheels too to save some coin since they have plenty of tread left on them but then had always wanted the VMR style wheels so bit the bullet after a long time. Shoot me a PM and we can talk further.Originally posted by Mysticality View PostFactories.

Gave the car its first wash since polishing/waxing, MAN it's slick to wash now! The mitt just glides!
And check DAT BEADING:


Put a quick spray of Duragloss Aquawax over it while I was drying it too.
Also removed the wheels to rotate them front to rear, as well as completely cleaning the insides of them, claying them and sealing them. I could not believe how much tar was stuck to the insides, took APC and clay and lots of rubbing to remove! Also cleaned the arches right out while I had the wheels off.MY11 Skoda Octavia vRS wagon 147TSI DSG
