Yet another one of those cool threads i've failed to notice.

Love those wheels Tim! Your car looks very neat, just how i would want mine to look if i owned a Mk5.

[Tim]

Yeah its a shame to put the wheels on the car really. Theyre brand spankers and such a thing of beauty! Now theyre gonna look used!
For anyone that isnt aware of these rims. Theyre an upgrade option on the new Audi TT. 19x9 ET52. Made by speedline.
I just love the way it has speedline stamped on every bolt!

Hopefully tomorrow ill get a chance to put my new black euro plates on.
I ended up getting V VW 337. I know its not a 337 model. but i figure if they can use that number for the mk4 as a tribute to the original GTI then I can use it as a tribute to the original GTI on my car

mega fan of those wheels

More side profile shots please. We know it's going to be sitting a mile high, I just want to see them anyways!

[Jarred]

That looks mean. Can't wait till tomorrow night, I'll even bring my camera maybe!

[Mischa]

those wheels are so damn hot. and yes, some side pictures please, kinda hard to see them through the fenders

[Tim]

haha i didnt take side pictures as i only have the fronts on! Car is also filthy.
I havent had tyres mounted to the other 2 rims yet cos i wanted to wait to see if i could get them to fit nicely first. Ill get the other tyres mounted sometime this week hopefully.

Need to look at what sort of coilovers im going to run ASAP methinks!

me also thinks

[Tim]

ok i got the rears on today. No spacers required. Although there is not a lot of clearance to the suspension linkage!

Went down the local industrial area and took a couple snaps. Im a newb when it comes to this DSLR stuff so theyre not the best. But anyways here goes.

[Preen59]

Thats hot.

Drop the front 30mm and the back 20.

hahaha I dont think i could! When i get my coilovers I will have to experiment a little to see what works.


On a side note. The new wheels are a little heavier. I think a couple kgs per corner. It really does take the edge off the performance of the car. Im not sure i will run them all the time. But im certainly quite happy with the result.

Its funny. I have the wheels for my VR6 in the garage. 16x7.5" SSRs that weigh 12lbs each. They felt light as a feather as I was shuffling things about

[Mischa]

looks awsome. more pictures please

[99gti]

That looks tops Tim! Nice work
