I think you'll actually find it's an abbreviation of the words I am

I'm

if he'd have meant two words he'd have typed them, it's a lack of an apostrophe which is actually punctuation not grammar :P :grin:

John,
how much would you be willing to pay for a set of 19's??

depends , I have no idea how much they cost tbh thats why I asked.

Hedge S3 wheels dont do it for me sorry

reckon the new wheels on an 'old' car would freshen the look :happy2:
only problem is they are prob a bit heavy

blimey......what about the 18's then ? Upgrade to 19's on the R is only around Â£500 i think.

Post by: john_o on February 10, 2010, 07:36:17 am: ok so we have

Golf R - 18" Alloys Wheel - "TALLADEGA"
7.5J x 18 H2 ET51
Part Number 5K0 601 025 H 88Z (bright silver)
approx Â£????

Golf R - 19" Optional Wheel - "TALLADEGA"
8J x 19 H2 ET51 Part Number 5K0 601 025 M 88Z (brightsilver)
8J x 19 H2 ET51 Part Number 5K0 601 025 M AX1 (Glossy Black)
approx Â£500

personally I would only really consider the 19's as Ive always felt the OE Pesc's look too small in 18, as do the R wheels in 18.
so the only bit missing is the wheel weight ........

I would not consider reps to be honest as they are usually silly heavy (and Im thinking the OE 19's arent exactly going to be lightweights either)

anyone actually buying an R from new would be silly not to spec 19's and downgrade afterwards imho.
