New Wheels

[livingthedream]

Hi All,

Thought i would share some pics of my new wheels. I decided to upgrade my stock Claxxis 17s to a set of Fox 18s. So far I am very happy with the new rims. I have noticed a slight increase in road noise, and i have lost about 10% in ride comfort but handling has improved; so overall am very pleased.

Since going to the low profiles though i seem to have exaggerated the gap between wheel and wheel arches so next up is a set of Eibach springs to bring the ride hide down. Hopefully this can be done without sacrificing much more 'comfort', and after speaking to other members with Eibachs i am confident.

The rims themselves look good, and the shadow chrome is the perfect colour with my graphite blue. They are similar to the Charlestons but different.





Thanks also to 'Buckets' for giving my Claxxis a new home.

Are these the ones from Tempe Tyres? What rubber did they come with and how much?

Did they come with the VW caps as well?

Looks good
