My 08 Steel Grey GTI
« on: July 06, 2010, 01:53:58 pm »
I finally fitted some new wheels last night as I just couldn't live with 17's anymore! Thought I'd post a couple of pics!





I need some spacers for the back as these are et54 BBS 2 piece splits from an A3 and don't sit far enough out for my liking!

Thank you! I'll post some decent pictures up as soon as I get chance to clean it! It needs lowering I think, but I'm real pleased with the wheels.........

Thanks bud, that's the next step..... any recommendations? I don't want to go the whole hog with coil-overs etc, but would like a spring kit that doesn't compromise the cars abilities? I don't want to make any further mods after that, except perhaps a remap and a bit of colour coding here and there!

Thats good news, thought they might be a bit steeper than that! I assume this will invalidate my warranty....... I may have to wait til it expires next month!

Invalidate the warranty on the springs you take off maybe but nothing else!  :happy2:
