Its not that I dont like them but I would of preffered them in 19s then these wheels came up at £130 for the 4 (and they're straight) so I ripped his arm off.

I'll run them and see what I think, will keep the talladega's though

But exhaust noise!!!!

Finally got round to buying a pair of adapters to trial fit the 19s, could only get adapters with a 5x120 & 72mm center bore so had to turn them down to 65mm for the toureg wheels.

Fitted a 235/35/19 tyre to one wheel and fitted it today





According to the internet a 9" rim doesnt fit a mk6 without body mods, these would be ok if I dont lower it and were to keep the tyre size fitted which gives a stretch.

Hey ho, they'll be for sale soon


Still, I did find that the lockers fitted were wrong and had a straight chamfer and not the domed head,

Luckely I had a set from an old car in the garage so I changed them

TBH you could run that wheel quite happily if you add a touch of camber (which would happen if you lowered it anyway).
That wouldn't rub.
Although on the front if may be a bit tighter..

Been a while since I updated this.

Decided against the wheels, sold them and gonna find some others

But heres a few pics from the weekend
