had the call from VWR that they had finally recieved my 18x8s in a 35 offset for the rocco in satin anthracite this week
within 30 mins of colecting they were slapped on the car, was impressed by the quality of the finish and packaging, the 18x8s inters on the rocco are heavy beasts in comparison
rain had stopped play for a few days this week, however, intial signs were good
i've never really got on with the ACC on the rocco as found it flawed and not a fan of the damper settings, in reality it was left in sport but a bit compromised in terms of ride, my sanity remained when matt of autocar had the same issues, ironic as i chose the rocco for its handling and whilst it has more grip than the mk5 never felt as sweet when being pressed
read with interest the feedback and experiences of members on here, all i can say is wow, the ride quality is the biggest improvement, sport setting on a b-road now gives confidence, the steering has always been lighter on the rc compared to the golf, however the feedback through the wheels enhances the experience
alas most rocco owners won't get it (marmite choice and brtual) but given the mileage and roas i drive on i can honestly say the stock rims (which do look great) won't be going back on any time soon and you can't argue with the price
some pics will be appearing soon
