Well done Shabba  :congrats:

Those wheels fit the arches great.

Perfect wheels (if not the best wheels) for the mk5 platform.  :notworthy:

They fill the arches lovely BUT have caught the arch a few times since I fitted them. I need to do the screw mod but it actually hit the lip of the arch and pulled the inner lip down

....Check out Jake's build thread. The Siebon carbon wings aren't a great fit:

Kerscher wings seem to be the way to go - See Reply #559.
