Jay's Golf Coupe "racek0r" project

[rich83]

Calculated/Simulated... yeah... Not sure why it even bothers really! 

It never seems to get beyond a certain point no matter how much you rag it.

[Tfsi_Mike]

That's it. It can't read / calculate beyond a certain parameter?

That picture has definately made me decide i need polar fis

Do it! They are really good

I had only posted the picture because I reached 150k 

Mike the max sensor reading on this sensor/engine is 1000 degrees C.

Most I've seen is about 940 which was at full chat in a  private at 150+

Had it MOT'd yesterday.
All fine 

Also spot the difference!

Oz ultraleggera? Thought they were works cr at first glance 

[Tfsi_Mike]

 I nearly said Ultras but the centre dish looks too deep?

[xjay1337]

Good guesses haha.
They are OZ Ultraleggeras.
Bit tatty but nothing a refurb can't sort. Will have that done in a month or two.
Getting them done in anthracite, only colour to go really.

5x114.3
18x9 et43
Very light!
Need to change to 245/40 tyres which is good as pilot super sport are available in that size... 
Swapped wheels with my mate as they are too wide for his S3 on the front but fine for me

That's a lot of rubber in the ground for that chassis! You'll have much more grip.

OZ Ultras are great (weight wise) like your previous wheels, although I prefer the design of the Ultras (personal preference, of course).

[Tfsi_Mike]

Ultras next for me, now the Turinis have gone :(

the turinis are a wonderful wheel! i wanted those so bad but wasn't in a position to buy haha.

I'm tempting to try 255/40 tyres just whether they would fit or not/look stupid.
They are brill! I wanted a set of ultraleggeras since i owned the car and finally i have a set :)
i think i'll prefer these once they're all refurbed up, just look a bit tired, no major curbing just quite dull and corroded paint.

Looks good  I ordered my wheels over a week ago and they still aren't here cause of Xmas shipping or some rubbish

Jealous of those wheels Jay - loved the ones I had on my mkiv. They were a bit of a pain in silver after track use - pretty immense build up in pad material at the bottoms of the spokes, but a refurb in a dark colour hides these sins 
Must admit, the factory finish on mine were never great, but managed to sort of keep on top of them. I bought a 2nd set for my mkiv (intended as track wheels), and the finish was terrible - down to the base coat in places. God knows what wheel cleaner had been used...

Look forward to future updates on these!

Haha yeah i bet! corners like that are always a pain, was difficult on the td1.2s but tbh with the cquartz i had on them they weren't too bad. i'll coat up these when they get refurbished for sure. i remember having anthracite wheels on my 1.9, it was so nice! lol.

seems a lot of OE paintjobs aren't upto scratch :( shame really for the price of the wheels new.

I love this

thank you sir!! :)

Cheers dude!

What wheels did you order? where from?
that's a bit annoying either way :( :(

Went for the OZ superturismo LM in graphite grey.. Wanted to go for something different and I haven't seen these on another car near me.

I just hope they suit the car otherwise I will have to pay for shipping to send them back or swap them for some different ones. 

They look good on the mk6 so fingers crossed
