Thanks heaps for the great comments!!!
Got the wheels back from the tyre shop, not as much stretch as i would like considering he told me that was a 6 inch tyre getting stretched on a 7 inch rim but they should still look the goods on the old girl! looking forward to putting them on tomorrow afternoon!!!
Pics,


And all tyre fitting goo removed and polished up!

Love these wheels! When my bank balance recovers I'll be on the look out for some angry looking Meshies.

Good work there!

looking good. so you've got the wheels... with tyres on em, and there's no pic of the car with the wheels on it?

[rat77]

Haha I get ur point! This arvo after I get the new plates on the rexi the wheels and tyres will be on the dub!!!!!! Thanks again 4 the comments!!! Even the smart ass ones hahaha

[rat77]

Ok so i got the new plates home for the rexi and it got the better of me i went straight out and put the wheels on the golf, the rexis numberplates are sitting on the passenger floor haha.

Sorry about the quality of the pics i took them from the iphone!
anyway here they are,





with centre caps and dice valve caps!

very nice mate, any plans to lower it? would look fantastic

[rat77]

Bring on the coilovers!!! It looks way tooooo high haha! In a couple of weeks I'll line up some hot tuning coilovers!!! Loving how the wheels look on the car though! Will ne great to get the centre caps finished off with something in the centre instead of the crap wrecked clear coated remotec centres!!!

[GoLfMan]

mate it will look awesome when its slammed!!!

wind the back all the way down and leave about 50mm thread at the front and it'll be a wicked stance (i've got them and thats how mine are set up)

[Jarred]

looking good mate, that colour & wheel colour combo, is really working for me!

should look good a little lower

[MiKe1_golf]

looks awesome. you need a wet willy sticker for the other side

[rat77]

I've got one of those but I can't put it there because of the rego sticker dammit haha! I've got a couple of set of those stickers! Flamey seems to fade quicker than wet willy so I put it there for a bit of fun while I'm slowly buildin it! Wet willy will replace flamey when flamey fades from the sun haha!

[MiKe1_golf]

does that mean youre a skater or ex skater?

[rat77]

Ex skater! New plates are fitted to the rexi! I've got tomorrow off work so I'll see if I can get the rexi and the mk1 washed and get photos of both together!!!

[dub1]

looks tops mate! (maybe ditch the dice dust caps )
all that effort on the rims has paid off

tom.
