New wheels, time for a shoot

LOL. The shipping would be worth more than the wheels themselves. Except for the fact I had them powder coated to look like the MK6 Detroits. You can pick up similar sets to my old reps on German ebay. Shipping to the UK would be a hell of a lot less too. Worth noting that they were a relatively soft wheel. You get what you pay for I guess.

That said, they easily cleared my Brembo GT 355 brake kit.

The W12's needed a 5mm spacer and it's a right pain trying to find conical 14 x 1.5 32mm security lug bolts. I'm now contemplating machining 3mm off some 35mm security lugs I have which match my 28mm rears. Not heard of it being done before myself, but I'd prefer not find my 2 front wheels replaced with bricks. Anybody know if that's safe? I'm reluctant to run 28mm bolts with 5mm spacers for obvious reasons. Even thought they are quality bolts.

I'm trying to reserve judgment until i see more pics but I think they may be the nicest wheels I've ever seen on the mk5. 

More pics please :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Immense looking wheels, I don't think I have or ever will see a better rim on a MK5. Right up my street that!!  :notworthy: :notworthy:
