[DonJuan]

What's people's opinions of the Avant Garde VW Type 310 rim in black with Kuhmo Ecsta ASX tyres??? I'm thinking of ordering a set from the us and opinions or experiences are welcome....

They look very similar to VMRV710's which look ace on the Golf model's

yeah, only difference is 0.5" of width as these are 8" wide not 8.5" so i will probably have less issue when it goes lower due to kw coils, walk, etc...

prices are pretty good but i'm not sure of any duties to be paid, local suppliers, wait times... still researching...

So long as they fit for your needs i would say go for them.
Maybe ask for a weight first though as i believe even though they are thiner they still weigh a bit.


Duties won't be incurred so long as the purchase price is under $1000AU (shipping does not count towards dutiable cost)

thanks for that... someone still suggested i go for the VMR V710's but they are 8.5" wide rather than 8"... i'm trying to keep the guards standard so i can keep the pirelli rims safe and sound for future use...

Are you sure about this as i would love to get a set of these rims... not sure about local suppliers yet but they are $450 to ship from US...
