Wheels

[Frostee]

Hey Joe, your wife and mine will get on very well together. The only way I could get it across the line is if I could be sure of selling the original wheels at a reasoanble offset to the new ones.

[GTI JOE]

Yeah same here Frostee, unless....we create an offshore account in the Caman Islands

[Gambit]

Yeah same here, I sold it to my +1 like this, save the original wheels from Kurb damage in order to retain better resale value plus I got my wheels for free

[alias_vw]

yea very happy, even better than I hoped...the pic doesn't do it justice. will post more pics just waiting for the weather to clear.

would look tops on a white car

So how much did they end up setting you back (wheels alone and with the tyres)?

Thinking about the same wheels but in 17" and keeping my current tyres but if it's reasonable, maybe I'd go with the 18".

Cheers!

3k as a package (don't know separate prices) less the proceeds from the sale of my boas

[Coolio]

Yeah, they look very smick against white don't they, forgot to put in the red calipers, they would really stand out. Maybe we can get a bulk discount rate if we get Frostee and payno to join in. On the flip side, my wife says it's a waste of money, woman...go figure

Count me in boys, they look awesome! Haven't mentioned it to the +1...maybe if we all get them fitted we can say they are stock?

[Frostee]

I'd love to but no way I could get that passed by Snr Management

[bigfoot]

we can say they are stock?

get the dealer to fit them so they're on when you pick the car up

oh my stock "sport pack" springs are up for grabs

[GTI JOE]

Ok bigfoot, its been a sunny day today....where are those pics?

[bigfoot]

i'm chained to my desk at work

hopefully this arvo

[Gambit]

Alright, just picked up the wheels from the powdercoaters, had them done in steel pearl and it aint too bad, and this is the end product!

Cant wait to get them on, will leave the final judgement when they are fitted, picked up some Bridgestone RE070 225/45/17's as well, what do you think? I so hope they work with the car

[bigfoot]

look sweet!

what offset?

[Gambit]

thanks, they are 17x7 +45
i think i have asked before but do you think 225/45/17 will not scrub? now that you are running your profiles?

[noone]

If you are going to rub, will likely be on the struts.

Nothing a few spacers can't fix.

[Gambit]

true, now what do i do about wheel nuts??
what size are they and anyone got a link to where i can get some black ones that may suit?
