(Tigger's)... Octy's new shoes!!

[Tigger]

Hey thanks all for your nice comments!

As you all know, I agonised for months trying to find wheels that would look good, and match the car etc...I didnt actually realise these were the Adidas wheels until someone poited it out. I really love the black chrome look, as I really love the Detroits. So this gives me the best of both worlds.

They are 19", running 225/35 high end Continental tyres. I went for the best tyres I could, and just put them on a 12mth payment plan so it didnt hurt too much.

I will get the Nanolex treaetment done soon to help protect them and keep them clean.

AND... I have warned all curbs within 200kms to stay well away and not jump out in front of my car...especially when my wife drives it...(which I am tipping will be...never now...!)

I will get the Nanolex treatment done soon to help protect them and keep them clean.

I'll be looking into that also!

[Tigger]

So does anyone know what VW actually call this style of wheel?

I know it is probably something like "yet another american city" of some sort...????

Nice look.
Works well with the color of ur car.
The springs complete it nicely.

The car looks good!

The wheels and springs are a nice improvement. Not exactly my taste since you've seen what I went for.

Looks great Tigger! Pretty modern too. I'd love to see those wheels on a Yeti.

Looks awesome tigger!! The wheels compliment the car well!!

They are 95% there for me. The spokes look too thick. Should you care? Nope.

What did you do with your old wheels?

I'm just gonna keep the old wheels for a while...just in case...you know....
But eventually I will sell them.

If it wasnt for your upcoming repair bills mate, I could sell them to you?!?

[Tigger]

Noice very noice! Looks about the same ride height I have as we have the same springs! So enough with aesthetics time to giddy up the ponies!

Hmmm..so what do you suggest to start off??

If you havent already done so, id scrap the wheel treatment idea (which is utter BS anyway) and spend the money on some low dust brake pads. Personally ill recommend the Remsa pads which are awesome - soo much less dust, affordable (about $240 for the full set) and they are brilliant.

Honest opinion - that looks great!
I think the machined look really suits the colour of the car...I like it

[Tigger]

Thanks again for all your replies guys!

In all honesty, I would have gone 18" if they had the wheel in that size, but as I really loved the wheel, I went with what they had;19" instead...

I just think that 18" would be a nicer look against the style of the wheel. The 19" makes it look like the tyre is stretching too much to fit...

[Martin]

Hmmm, I think in general bigger wheels look better, only the low profile concerns me

Looks good difference in ride on the new rubber?
