Calculated/Simulated... yeah... Not sure why it even bothers really!  :signLOL:

It never seems to get beyond a certain point no matter how much you rag it.

That's it. It can't read / calculate beyond a certain parameter?

 I nearly said Ultras but the centre dish looks too deep?

Good guesses haha.
They are OZ Ultraleggeras.
Bit tatty but nothing a refurb can't sort. Will have that done in a month or two.
Getting them done in anthracite, only colour to go really.

5x114.3
18x9 et43
Very light!
Need to change to 245/40 tyres which is good as pilot super sport are available in that size...  :happy2:
Swapped wheels with my mate as they are too wide for his S3 on the front but fine for me

That's a lot of rubber in the ground for that chassis! You'll have much more grip. :grin:

OZ Ultras are great (weight wise) like your previous wheels, although I prefer the design of the Ultras (personal preference, of course). :drinking:

the turinis are a wonderful wheel! i wanted those so bad but wasn't in a position to buy haha.

OZ Ultras are great (weight wise) like your previous wheels, although I prefer the design of the Ultras (personal preference, of course). :drinking:

I'm tempting to try 255/40 tyres just whether they would fit or not/look stupid.
They are brill! I wanted a set of ultraleggeras since i owned the car and finally i have a set :)
i think i'll prefer these once they're all refurbed up, just look a bit tired, no major curbing just quite dull and corroded paint.

Looks good  :smiley: I ordered my wheels over a week ago and they still aren't here cause of Xmas shipping or some rubbish  :indifferent:

Jealous of those wheels Jay - loved the ones I had on my mkiv. They were a bit of a pain in silver after track use - pretty immense build up in pad material at the bottoms of the spokes, but a refurb in a dark colour hides these sins  :evilgrin:
Must admit, the factory finish on mine were never great, but managed to sort of keep on top of them. I bought a 2nd set for my mkiv (intended as track wheels), and the finish was terrible - down to the base coat in places. God knows what wheel cleaner had been used...

Look forward to future updates on these!

Haha yeah i bet! corners like that are always a pain, was difficult on the td1.2s but tbh with the cquartz i had on them they weren't too bad. i'll coat up these when they get refurbished for sure. i remember having anthracite wheels on my 1.9, it was so nice! lol.

seems a lot of OE paintjobs aren't upto scratch :( shame really for the price of the wheels new.

I love this

thank you sir!! :)

Cheers dude!

What wheels did you order? where from?
that's a bit annoying either way :( :(

Went for the OZ superturismo LM in graphite grey.. Wanted to go for something different and I haven't seen these on another car near me.

I just hope they suit the car otherwise I will have to pay for shipping to send them back or swap them for some different ones.  :rolleye:

They look good on the mk6 so fingers crossed  :fighting2:
