-Bows down to Wade-

Look what I finally got...


One of 'em was even freshly refurbed!

And I'm liking 7" width for the moment, even if it isn't very wide they look great.


Very big thankyou to Wade for these, I couldn't believe how good the condition was. Hopefully I'll wrap 'em in tyres soon and they can go on the car!



EDIT: Oh, and i've just noticed, one of the wheels is missing the valve thingo. where do i get one?

Don't worry about it. When you get the tires the tire place can supply. Nice rims, BTW.

[Golf Houso]

Those rims look even better in the flesh they are just too good I must say, perfect offsets too!

My S-lines are nice as well, still just have to hunt for those center caps though... Oh and BTW, that tire thats on one of the rims has 2 nails in it, me and my dad just saw them

[Mrk_Mickey]

HAHAHHA dude, ouch!

Yeah Dave I'll post pictures when they're on the car, they look SWEET up against my car now

New stickers for the centre caps would be on my list, personally I would go for VW caps, but thats just me.

those wheels are hoooooottt! very nice!

Hahaha the waiting paid off. I can't believe if they weren't sold, they would've been sent to the scrappers... Good pick-up

I know man! Soo happy with them.

Don't you worry Aaron, new stickers are definitely on the cards and yes they'll be VW ones. But, tyres are more important right now. Should I just pick some up on eBay?

[Jarred]

nice one.

you could get tyres off ebay, just make sure they aren't crap

will you be going for a bit of stretch?

I've had a bit of a look around on eBay (not too recently) and to be honest I don't remember finding anything at all

Stretch? Dude...my VR is a fatty! She can only just handle 205's, let alone something that STILL won't even stretch like 195's. My idea on these wheels is like...OEM for the while, then when I find some awesome 8.5's all round I'll get them and stretch

[Jarred]

hahahh fatty.

get urself a mk 1 brother! no issues there!!

BOT, can't wait to see that wheels on. How'd the GAP order go? got it yet?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Nah dude not yet. People tell me GAP are good with their shipping time estimates, which means it SHOULD be in by about Friday. I'm assuming sometime next week though.

Yay for completely mechanically working car

[Preen59]

Nice wheels Mickey! very tidy.

[V®6]

The wheels look great Mickey, can't wait to see them on the car

[brendan_lfc]
