Post by: john_o on March 22, 2010, 05:43:57 pm: I did Mr Green :happy2:, but VMR werent for me (I wanted Morr forged items specifically :notworthy:)
VMR very popular over on golfmkv.com, seem to get a good rep, only downside is that they arent very light.
should be rel easy to get hold off :happy2:

Post by: DaveB@Vagbremtechnic on March 23, 2010, 06:43:55 am: Funnily enough just doing some brakes for somebody with these wheels, they're 19/8.5/45ET and came from Niche Conversions, I think with the VAT and rubber it came to Â£2k.

I do think they've got the look of a sort of lightweight Helios about them. Cant be as heavy as the Helios though cos putting them on the car when its up on the ramp is a two man job.

Lovely wheel though - only problem being they make stock 312's look like bloody 5p pieces - look good with the S3/R32 stuff though.

You bored of the VZ's Dave
