Me again, only the one update.
Thought I had done well in 2011 to still only be on my first set of alloys, and that as a reward I should buy myself some new alloy wheels:






(appalling iPhone pics, will be taking it to a few of the scenic parts of Wolverhampton soon to get some better pics as these drive ones are awful)

Incredibly rare. Can't wait to see the pictures of them (scenic parts of Wolves, not the wheels)...!  :grin:

I think the centre is too big! IMO, the worst alloys you have put on Al, sorry  :sick:

Al big fella...

They're certainly different so you've got a niche at least, but not for me at all, sorry.

All of your wheels except that set have been absolutely excellent. Just my preference but they look like they belong on a bit of 'japcrap'  :smiley: Not classy enough for your MK5 - just my five note  :happy2:

To be honest, that is what I am thinking about mate.
I am really happy with them, but appreciate the comments.

Very unusual alloys and something I've not seen before. The side on pic looked a bit funny but in the angled pic, they look good. They look good on the jetta/estate thing too.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I like em!   :happy2: most things that are different dont go down well at first. You have a choice, you can follow the crowd and fit in, or get what you like in life.  :wink:
