Subject: Re: B5 Sat Dec 12 2009, 19:59

wheels look good, not sure on the wing blanks though, maybe if they were body coloured they might work.

Subject: Re: B5 Sun Dec 13 2009, 15:03

Only temporary till i get my respray but might get a rattle can n colour code them....better than the old indicators though....anyone know the paint code(s) for VW silver wheels??? think i might paint the wheels.....but want them to look oem so dont want to use Halfrauds wheel silver.....

Well spotted that man.... paid £25 each.... and got 6 so have 2 spares....rub down n rattle can paint will cost roughly £20 a wheel so total cost with spigot rings and bolts will be about £60 a wheel ....not bad for a set of 18's ...that are exactly what i wanted...

Subject: Re: B5 Thu Feb 25 2010, 00:09

Will you need adapters for them??

Are they 5x115 or something? maybe wobble bolts would work???

They look really nice in that colour..what is it?

Subject: Re: B5 Thu Feb 25 2010, 09:33

Wobble bolts and spigot rings.....its only 3mm difference in pcd which is 1.5mm difference at the bolt or the width of a pencil line.....see previous pic of trial fitting....

The wheel paint is peugeot cossack grey metallic...with the backs plain gloss black....my lass picked the colour ...i wanted it to look silvery but a bit darker to give it that extra bit of class.....think her choice was spot on...

Subject: Re: B5 Thu Feb 25 2010, 10:59

im looking forward to seeing this, wheels are the perfect choice. subtle and cool

How do you think i feel i picked these wheels in october....bought them a month later and have been refurbing them ever since.....trying really hard to take my time so they come out just right.....i hope to have them on for the end of March ......still saving up for the Falken 452's to go on them.....and still have to find a tyre fitting place or mobile who understands alloys and will fit them with enough care.....would hate to do all this work and have some muppet fitter rip them up...

Try Cambridge Performance Tyres.
I've had a set done there with no problems at all.
Im actually going back there tomorrow to get my LM reps fitted with some tyres. Quick, painless, and not really that far from my work.

Subject: Re: B5 Thu Feb 25 2010, 13:03

yeah CPT as good, ive taken nearly every set of wheels ive had there because i like how they handle ya wheels, and their machines good.

Plus they like abit of cash
