MK5 Golf GTI

New batch of stickers arrived this week, to replace my large rear one, and to place on customer's cars.

Turns out they are terrible... 

Great shot those, i just wondered is there a hole in the wall for the exhaust gases?? 

Finally got your coilovers then mate, looks nice!

Joe.

Oki doke. I've been given the opportunity to swap the pescaras for a set of new alloys.

My friend from school is running his own alloy wheel business atm. They're called SQUARED. You may have seen his AMG about...



Anywhooooo.....

He has designed these wheels, (currently in production) and I'm just wondering on people's opinions? They'd be 18" x 8.5J

I've made a dodgy photoshop so you can imagine them on the car.

Comments appreciated on this one 

I do like muchly and more muchly if theyre light & strong 

I like em  

Would be perfect in an 8J ET45 though.

What's up with the 8.5 dude? Think i'll have issues?

Well I can't say for sure, but Ive had 19x8J ET45 wheels for a long time now and they have never rubbed. Even lowered 45mm with the car full!

Ive also noticed that when some other people have had rubbing issues, they mention the 8.5" wheels. But that could be due to different offsets.

All I can say for sure is that IMO, 19X8J ET45 are perfect. 

Dont think they look great, almost a bit cheap

Maybe nicer in black/grey but not a fan of the design. Think the spokes go to far on to the rim/face off the alloy.

Cars looking gret tho, very shiney 

I like them! Certainly suits the car in your PS.
Would like to see them darker. Anthracite/black maybe?

They look awesome, was speaking to the guys at Squared at UD, seem a good bunch and ther quality is staggering.

What kind of money they looking for a 1-piece rim as the only had slpits at UD.

I'm not keen on the Squared ones at all. So my vote is to keep the Pescaras.

Yeah John and the guys are awesome.

The cast single rims retail at under £1000 so not too bad.

Thanks for the feedback too guys.
