Awesome work JMac.

Great to see this being repaired, would of been criminal to scrap it.

For perfect fit those wheels might need guard roll at back, and the tiniest chamfer on edge of the front brake pad carrier/backing. 4th VR powered car to wear those wheels. You keeping the stockies, im interested in a set.

Ben, you are spot on bud!!, yeah Glasurit is great paint totally agree. Joe, not sure if im putting the multi spoke ones on to be honest, thinking the TT ones i have, or fat fives or something else, not sure, the multi spoke ones arent that bad either though, decisions decisions. The car came with no wheels mate, but i do have a really good set of stockies, thats one you see in the pic. And yes it would have been criminal to wreck it. Will keep you up to date guys.

... thinking the TT ones i have, or fat fives or something else....

Mk1 TT 6 spokes? Same specs as fat 5/comps and S3 ones huh?

[Jmac]

What you reckon with these, bora 4 mo wheels, of course would be with low profile tyres and the car will have drop. Although itll be a wee while before i really need wheels i have a set or 2 to choose from and seeing wht ye all think

Graeme sent me this of his CC a while back.

VR looked the goods, I reckon those Bora wheels are the go, lower profile but still fat tyres for that OEM+ hill climb look, and just a slight drop so there's even wheel gap all around. Won't look like a P plater special just subtle and 100% VAG

[Jmac]

Ok change of plans with the wheels, im going these now. Had a set of these in the shed and think they will look the goods. Anyone had any fitment issues with these on the Mk3? Im thinking they should be pretty right with the right tyre choice.
