That looks mint bud  :happy2: Great wheels and for the difference they make and the money they cost they are a bargain. The fact they look mint too is just the icing on the cake  :wink:
What did you give for them Gaz? As my mate will be buying some more once I get my car back and mine come off his S3 back on to my Golf.

cheers for the comments fellas, I can't make my mind up, like I said they've a lot to live up to because the MTM's look so right IMO, but the TD's do bring a sharpness to the handling and performance that I've never experienced, espcially now I've had them re-balanced after the numb nuts that fitted the tyres at weekend put the balance weights in exactly the opposite place they needed to be :scared:, felt like the rear diff had gone on the way to work this morning, but had them re-balanced and everything was sweet on the way home, as the guy in the S5 found out :booty:

^^^ I know what you mean. On mine it took me a few weeks to 'appreciate' the look of the TD's.

Its not that they look bad, I think if I went from the std rims to the TD's I'd be chuffed to bits, but its how good the MTM's look thats the nice problem to have. Just have to be a spoilt brat and keep both :happy2:

Nothing wrong with keeping both. I have fitted me arse bungs on the underside, bought myself a trolley jack and torque wrench+ padded socket. I can change them all in 15 mins  :pomppomp:
On the day before track days or a good blast, i am looking forward to doing all my checks, changing the pads and wheels out ready for the next day.   :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:
