Well, They scrub a lot at the front, need to sort the arches. However, I love them!

They're BBS RXII 16x7J Running 195/45/16's(need 195/40 at front}

They look quite big. However, the car is lowered 60mm so it seem's they're bigger.

Standard on the later gti but proper 2pc, you must have the car lowered quite a bit for them to rub the arches though.

Well, it usually starts with some phunky wheels on a bog-standard, base-model, 4-door supermini and ends up with spoilers, aftermarket krooze bumpers, splitters and neons. Unfortunately, by the time all this has been done, the wheels have been on the car so long that they're kerbed to hell.

Just a hunch.

The exhaust isn't fat, its a High quality Supersprint letterbox system. Not very big, doesn't sound loud at all, Theirs NO Nurbergring sticker in my rear window!?.



Also, I'm not into the scene of Big bumpers and Spoilers, I like to do things to my car that make it look better in its rough OEM state, i.e colour coding door handles, Clear indicators, Just suttle items. I'm on no way getting any form of body kit or neons! 'Sublimaticatqwutbuqi' take your stereotypical views to the barry site, rolleyes where they're all like you. Anything non-OEM is Barry/Chav.

Small blue sticker in the right hand corner looks like the ring, sorry if offended.

Well I really like the wheels, although at the price of them you do need to stay away from the kurbs!

Nice looking car that.

Ignore the detractors!

Cheers,

Steve.
