Miss-Vw 2 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ok, noob question for a fairly new dubber Im selling my 1.4 mk3 which was my first car to my boyfriend, so he can use it as his first car. When I get the money from this, Im ordering my babies - 17" Schmidt TH Line's What I would like to know is, is there a name for the smooth, rounded edge tyres that you see fitted with these kind of alloys? What can you recommend? Sorry if there is an obvious answer to this question lol 8-) Thanks. x Link to post Share on other sites
