So much wheel inspiration on here! Still not seen another set of mine though, and have no idea what they are! Will have to get them off when I can and do some investigating.
Any insight welcomed   :happy2:

Thanks for the info, it's been buggin the hell out of me!
It does look OK on them, and seems to sit quite well, just not sure they're keepers.
Cheers dude

Probably look better in a different colour

MrBadger

It's definitely on the list of considerations.
New colour and new (decent) tyres or relegate them to winters and get something different.

There nice, suit the grey well. How did the lidl jack perform,I got myself one last week.

So I am picking up some new wheels which I don't think will fit.

18x9J ET52 with 245/40/18 tyres on, my thoughts are the tyres will need changed to around 215-225 and for the ET I might need a front spacer to clear the strut?

Any thoughts welcome

Probably around a 5mm spacer for the front and I'd go with a 215/40  but depending on how low you are as stretch doesn't suit cars that aren't low
What wheels are they Audi TT by any chance?

Yes Audi TT turbine wheels. The car is on coilovers so running low isn't a huge issue.

I'd personally space out the back around 10mm to get a better fitment and the front around 5mm to clear the strut

Nice combinations! I've ordered a set of Pro Race 1.2's in anthracite to go on my Reflex Silver with black lower trim GTi....now more confident it will look good!

Will post a pic once they arrive on Monday and I have managed to get some rubber on them.
