franchise 1 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Really lame post guys, I just can't make my mind up on what to do so would like some fellow advice.My vr is looking pretty sweet with the 16"tts on I think but I also have a set of Monza1s I refurbed and painted up graphite which look pretty awesome although not the style of wheel I really love. Now, I bought new oem centres for them which really make the rims pop, plus i bought a set of heavy treaded federal tyres (205/45/17s) which I know are no good to me if I decide to keep the wheels for spring as i need 40s.Here is my problem. I keep the rims, buy the right tyres (260 fitted) and hub adaptors (150 or so) and see how they look, or, do I strap the 45s on them and try to get rid and spend the money I get (should be around £550) on a decent set of coilovers to the make the 16s look sick.I'm leaning towards the latter as I think a good slam on 16s would look pretty awesome, plus I may even end up with some change, depending on what set up I go for.What would you do?

mk3anni 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 You wont get £550 for a set of second hand wheels unless there something very special!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
franchise 1 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 mk5 gti rims, refurbed, spotless brand new caps and very good tyres ready to rock, should be good for around the £500 mark i reckon, I've seen less go for more. A set of standard silver ones went for £460 on ebay, these are much cooler. Link to post Share on other sites

vr6madmike 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Have you brought a polished mani or are you going to have a go yourself? Been looking at your audi tt wheels on ebay since seeing your car im very tempted now!! Link to post Share on other sites

franchise 1 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Already on it!! Putting the 205/45/17s on the graphite mk5gtis this weekend, buffing em up then seeing if I can get around£450 for em, good price I think.I can't afford mega coilovers but heard good things about the supersports so might grab some of those if I can get a good price, up 120mm slamming action AWESOME!!!!Mike, I'm doing my own so should be finished in a couple of weeks as I can't spend ages doing it. Once done I'll swap with my current one, polish and paint that and sell it £75 exchange I reckon. You'll get the tts pretty cheap as no-one really bothers with em. All I need then is twin pipes and I'm away!! Link to post Share on other sites
