Fitted the new wheels :)
« on: March 11, 2009, 05:50:32 pm »
From this:



to this:



Big improvement in my opinion and the car rides much softer on the motorway now :) God knows how but I'm not complaining.

Although can't help but think its sitting a bit high at the back but its dropped a bit more since its been brimmed.



And the font:



Pictures don't do them justice, hell of a lot more shiny and the back colour really stands out.

Wow that's clean.
Were the photos taken just after you fitted the wheels? Sometimes it takes a good few miles for the suspension to drop back down to it's proper height.
Mind you your car looks like it sits higher than mine.

Its settled a bit more now since its been out a bit, seems about the same as the front now but it gives me an excuse to get it dropped a bit  :laugh:

Looks great mate. What did you do with your standard wheels? I'm thinking about swapping my 17" monzas to 18". Just wondered how much 17" monzas are worth?

There in the garage under a blanket, when it comes to winter their going back on to save the faces and when it gets sold the 17's are going with the car, and their always there in case of an emergency.

Laserblue, I'm interested! What make tyres are on your 18"s and are they excellent cond wheels. My 17" are excellent on my 07 GTI, although front tyres are legal, but will need replacing soon. PM me!
