Anywho, back to the Turini's.

They look gorgeous in the flesh (or metal/alloy), the anthracite colour is stunning, way better than I was expecting. I've not had a chance to weigh them yet but they feel as light if not lighter than my old TD Pro Race 1.2's.

They won't be going on till next weekend as I'm waiting for the correct bolts to turn up from Rimstyle (who forgot to send any out with the order) and also some spare blank Speedline centre caps and VW emblems in the correct size for them. Also need to seal and wax them.

Can't wait to get them on and the next round of mods done now!  :party: :party:

Couple of quick snaps

One regret with mine - that I didn't do them in a darker colour.

You could try the same centre caps that my original Speedline Omanyts came with from factory, PN: 3B7 601 171 XRW.  :smiley:

One day I might try to find a good OEM centre caps for my OZ too.

They are a lovely colour, was geniunely surprised  just how good though. I think they would great on any coloured car.

Thanks bud. Luckily enough the Speedline caps come without the logo's in place so ive ordered another set and also some resin covered VW logos in the correct size, hopefully it will all look OEM (ish).

These are now my new favorite wheels as well Rich. This particular colour would look stunning on your black beauty, ive always liked the black/grey combo.
