  • adrian13's RS golf TDI Build

    Well pretty much, i got messed around with for a couple of months. I made the payment for the rims round 2 months ago and received my refund a few weeks back. Got told stories about how my wheels would arrive on one day but got stuck at customs for a while and would be shipped the next day. That story carried on for 4 days, which led me to question whether the wheels existed or not based on the rumours going around about SpeedSource. Later that weekend i spoke to Jason and he said everything should arrive on monday. Monday came and i messaged jason in regards to the wheels. I received a message back from Jasons number but was written up by another guy named Dean. He told me that Jason tried commiting suicide and is now in a comma and is on his way to the hospital. I knew then that these wheels were all a scam, it was just too coincidental. Jason called an hour later saying he would chase up on the wheels and call me back (thought he was in a comma?) bugged him all day about giving me a tracking number for the wheels so i know they are actually here or not. Kept brushing it off and said he would get back to me with the number. That dragged on from 10am-5:30pm! Finally he called me and said he checked the tracking number and it was still at customs. After saying that i asked him to give me the tracking number so that i could check. He said he would get back to me. An hour later i sent him a rather nasty message demanding to give me a full refund. He agreed but said it would take at least a week. I wasnt happy about that so made sure the full amount was in within a couple of days. Received half the money after 2 days and received an email saying the rest would come in 3-4 days. Angry, i told him if he didnt give me a full refund by the day i messaged him i would contact the police. He deposited the money within an hour. Havent heard from him since very messily written up but hard to explain in words would rather describe in person hahaha

      At least you were refunded your money. What a headache that must have been for you.

          • bringing this thread back to life...mods in order within the coming month
            -ordering new rims next week
            -getting my roof wrapped in Gloss Black by Carbon demons

            have decided to keep modding my oiler, just love it to bits! Brake upgrades are now in play and will be discussing options with a few places soon. I really wanted to ask you guys a serious questions about wheel fitments though, i have received emails from the guy im ordering the rims from (ill tell you guys all about it after i receive them ) and the fitment option is:
            Front Wheel Size: 18-inches
            Front Wheel Width: 8-inches
            Front Wheel Offset / ET: 35
            Front Wheel Center Bore: 67.1
            Rear Wheel Size: 18-inches
            Rear Wheel Size: 9-inches
            Rear Wheel Offset / ET: 35
            Rear Wheel Center Bore: 73.1
            Stud Pattern: 5x114.3 PCD
            Will these fitments work on our MKV golfs? Will be getting the guards rolled, but just wanted to make sure these stud patterns and offsets will work with the dub...i could use wobble bolts but would prefer a good fitment! thanks guys

              You will need adapters to cater for 5x114.3. VAG is 5x112. +35 is a very aggressive offset. Not sure if it will work. Maybe? Centre bore size for your car is 57.1 from memory. So you will need hubcentric rings also. Sounds like it good get quite expensive.

              • I'm on 8 +30 now and pretty low, it's not too bad fitment. But then 9 +35 sits out 8mm more, so just camber and roll guards
                Also just run wobble bolts and hubcentric rings to fit them, cost about $150 for everything, I did it on my BBS Super RS's and they worked fine for nearly a year before I changed my wheels.

                  Guys could do with your opinion! Was going to pick up a set of enkei rpf1s this saturday in 17x9 +45 but wanted to ask which would look better? My other option was 18x9 +35 and ill have to order that one in within the next couple of days...opinions?

                  • didn't you want to avoid going 9 +35 on the previous set of wheels? just go the 17s then

                        Was going for 18x9 +35 with kerscher front guards (25mm wider) to fit this size, however, it all added up way too high with paint so ive decided to play safe and run 17x9 +45 and run adapters. Will be picking up the wheels tomorrow morning! The guys at spinning wheels and tyres will be waiting for me to arrive with the wheels this saturday to discuss tyre options. They have said 245s should be okay but i will need to exensively roll my guards with a slight flare. Stay tuned guys this should be an epic turn around for this thread for once haha

                        • You won't run stretched tyres because of legalities, but you are going to run adapters? Notsureifserious

                            Who said anything about not running stretched tyres? I dknt believe ive said that ever? And i prefer not to because i like the look of fatter tyres has that raw racecar look...

                            • hey guys, so i ended up lacking a whole lot of sleep Friday night and picked up the new shoes early saturday morning! Couldn't update you guys and show how excited i was on the day as i had to leave for Newcastle as soon as i got home from picking them up...long story short, i picked up a set of Enkei RPF1's in Matte Black with red enkei stickers (which i will have to stick myself) in 17x9 +45 offset. In saying that they are a 114.3 PCD and therefore i will be purchasing a PCD converter to suit 5x112. Heres some pics...
