Picking the new wheels up tomorrow!!

Excited much!!!!

what wheels blud?

Delta Mic from PhilJ I think/really really hope so :p Yum Yum Yum, always wanted them but never been able to afford them!

changed my mind as these popped up today, 14x7 and 14x8 so perfect for what i was after rather than subframe twatting the floor with 13s.

luckily i really like the colour too so saves me getting them sprayed, which i would have had to with the deltamics, aswell as finding tyres.

also the whole thing about the police clamping down on tyre stretch put me off as apparently the only tyre that will fit under polo arches with them is a 195/45, so loads of stretch on a 9.5'' rim. allow

i dont like um eric, sorry :(

yay to brakes tho, still what be able to stop tho :lol:

They're a great fit, sit well on the car, car sits well on them.

There's just something I'm not sure about. Either the colour of the wheels isn't getting the best out the colour of the car, or the style of the wheels isn't totally in fitting with the style of the car.

They've got their work cut out to replace the splits - what you need are the splits in that size!

I do really like em, think the same colour combo as your last ones would really set them off though! Whats the driving difference like?

Loads of grip, however i have found that 2 of them are buckled which is a complete downer.

Its both the drivers side ones, amd I've also noticed that whem refurbed and painted they haven't smoothed out the kurb marks?!?!

Seems to me like someones crashed on them, then painted them up to hide it.

I think they look wierd as the ride height is yet to be sorted, but thats being fixed soon with a set of mk1 golf coilovers.

Also i cant stamd this fucking forum on my phone anymore, the reply box moves around all over the place so you cant see what your typing, its pissing me off so i wont be on here much till I've fixed my laptop.

To summarise fucked off as i am about to start saving for a respray and this is another setback. Something always comes up urgh.

on a good note, i have 2 rather long and expensive pieces of plastic currently being shipped from germany :D

Bye

what are them bbs um selling ewwiikkkkk??

Ah, I was gonna suggest getting them lathe/diamond turned, that dish woulda sorted them a treat, but if they're buckled they're scrap.

Same here with the site, its crap. They've broken it imo. No wonder its so quiet around here lately. I've given up trying to do any worthwhile editing on my phone.

You are gonna put pics up of the side skirts though, right..?

mikey, need to get in with the kids and get instagram. there more of a buildthread their than on here lol.
i rarely look at threads as its all on instagram as it happens lol

  • Author

The wheels are being fixed lol

Ye mikey get instagram. Even max has it and he refuses to do social networking

BRING BACK THE OLD FORUM!!!!

Insta what, dear?

Hehe, I find this a pain in the arse too, it's manageable on my IPad, but iv basically given up with using phone!

Good choice on wheels/brakes Eric, function over form perhaps taking over a bit :p

Are you going for the Nodiz group buy or? Would be beneficial IMO.

I like the wheels, and do think it looks perhaps a little strange with them, hopefully some more lows up front etc will help!
