Ah, I knew you hadn't seen the LeggyRita's yet but not the Recaro retrim. My car and wheels aren't clean though! I washed the wheels last weekend.

Lovely wheels......great write up.....a proper wheel for Motorsport too. Just my cuppa t!

Great to see you are running a Quaiffe too with big brakes.

I'm deliberating my next move with mine or whether I move it on. The choice is a new MK7 with a performance pack or Golf R or sink more in my Ed 30.....going stage 2+ with diff, clutch, brakes, ARB's new wheel and tyre package for track...that will be about £7-8k for that lot which I could sink into the new GTI.....anyone tried new model?
Pearl Black Edition 30 3 Door. DSG. (3rd Edition 30)
Maybe on the too do list: APR Stage 2+, KW Clubsports, Brakes, Diff.

That pic is an ultraleggera 8.4kg in 18x8 not a superleggera  :happy2: I have some on my car but I would love a set of Aleggeritas.

Nice write up, I was looked on the wheel thread for inspiration for a new set of wheels and wanted these straight away, cheers  :happy2: Where did you order them from and what tires do you recommend?

....I ordered them from Revolution (didn't I post that info in my OP?).

As a good allround tyre I have no hesitation in recommending Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's. Many on this forum will agree with me on this.

Well I gave in and have my wheels on their way from Italy  :party:
Could be here by the end of the week.  :laugh:

Downside...the tyres I've chosen to go on them (Michelin Pilot Super Sports 92 rated) will not be available until mid/end of April.  :sad1: They're a new size/rating for this tyre since the 88's are available now. All the reviews I've read are very positive. Looks like a tyre that was intended to be able to handle the odd track day also. I didn't want to get into owning track tyres and wheels as I plan 1/2 dozen a year probably at most. I don't mind paying a little more for a 1 tyre solution, especially since this tyre doesn't appear (on paper at least) to be heavily compromised.

It's all your fault Robin! And Keith was grateful for the reference through this thread  :happy2:

....What colour have you gone for?

You're not going to be disappointed with either the look or the driver feedback/feel. Enjoy!   :driver:

I really should have enabled 'notify' for replies. I went for Titanium, I have gunmetal wheels at the moment and I like the contrast against silver. Black is nice, but not on my car. The photos don't do them any justice do they, they are even better looking when they are in front of you. So pleased with them and they're not even on the car yet!  :pomppomp:

I am looking at getting some of these in the future, with the same size that you have. What size tyres do you put on them?
