Yea, very poor quality pic :/ was just a quick one with the phone after a clean before it was getting dark.

Will get some better pics as soon as. Got some hubcentric spacers to go on as well, but need the front arches rolled before I can do that.

Do you need spacers on them??? Offset looks pretty much bang on to me. Better pics needed.  :happy2:

Ummm not really haha, but there is a bit of a gap there. Just wanted to get it properly stanced.
Wheels are tucked up in the garage for winter now but they'll be back out in a few months.

Didn't like the bright silver finish on the wheels so had them acid-dipped and redone the same shade as the Audi R8 V10 wheels :smiley:

These look superb, amongst my favourite wheels on the GTI.

:drinking: It's on AP coilovers. I highly recommend them as an upgrade from stock - ride quality is MUCH improved, as is ride height and body roll.
