^^^^ Hi fella!  :drinking:

Not surprised you can't part with the Ultra's.  :drool: :drool:  Whichever wheels I go for (will be either the Turini's or Ultra's) I will get Anthracite for a bit of definition between wheel and tyre.

 :happy2:

Also I can vouch for the Awesomeness of the OZ Formulas  :drool:


Martin....

Do you still have your TD1.2s?

Am I right in thinking you had VW centre caps?
If so were they oem Pescara/GTI caps?

I'm really not liking the TD centres  :sick:

@monte

Ive sold the TD's and yes I had VW centre caps on them. I bought some cheap ones from ebay, they fitted fine. They are the standard 65mm VW caps that go on the Pescara and Monza wheels and yes they look way better.

Pic I took last week when I sold them.....

@dan930 just PM'd you bud.

From what ive seen it appears the HLT's are only in 19" and 20" and the non HLT's are only available in 15" - 18" so no cross over between the 2 types. Only other difference seems to be £1000.

Mandy would know better than I Danny.

I think you're right, the Ultra HLT's come in 19 and 20. The Formula wheels on your list are available in a 18" HLT version, as are the Allegeritas.

I wouldn't mind having an HLT version of my Ultras but you do have to mind the price difference.  :sad1:

The regular version is sweet too, just not as much. :happy2:

Seems odd they don't do their HLT version in the 18" for the Ultra's, as you say OZ do HLT for the Formula ones. 18" Formula HLT are the same price as the 18" non HLT Ultra's so no idea why they don't amd also do idea why the MAHOOSIVE price increase, almost double!

 :confused:  :sad1:


Saying ALL THAT, im seriously leaning towards the 18" Anthracite Speedline Turini.   :wink:

Pic of said wheels (below) on @swf7y  's Mk5 (hope you don't mind me posting this photo fella).

Speedline Turini gets my vote.
If it was me, I would go for silver. I think they look awesome on Mike's car, for example.

I might have said it before, but if you have a lot of cash to spend on wheel, you might want to look at BBS RS-GT.
I've seen them live on 2 of my friend's cars and they really are the best wheels for a Golf 5. They only come in 19inch for our cars.

These pictures really don't do them justice, but you will see how they look on red Golfs:
