Well done! Thats a great price. Look great on mk5s :)

Thanks matey :happy2: Just need to find a place to refurb then now?! The 1 that has been split is the original audi polished wheel where as the other 3 have been painted would like them back to standard audi style! They are all pretty straight though and I no I'll need to spend a bit getting them right

Toast
are you going for a polished lip ?, if so think seriously about it, if you dont lacquer it they need constant polishing as they go Dull very quickly, also if you lacquer a polished lip it will most probably lift an peel before too long as water gets into the split part and eats underneath and into the lacquer
-
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
They are pretty much the perfect wheel for the MK5!!!! And for £400!!!!!!! Wow! Nice buy!! :smiley: :smiley:

The wife is well pleased with them. :happy2:
-
Stunning set of wheels matey :happy2:
-
Nice rimmage toaster :happy2:
-
Lovin' the rims.
Someone else told me a whiles back that split rims were dodgy if they hadn't been fitted right. Is this true?
-
Thanks again for all the positive feed back guys appreciate it :happy2: I'm Soo excited about getting them done and on the car for Summer also loving the photo's that have been put up!! The Live Photoshop was my mates idea I was round th back of the house and he'd done it :laugh:!! My neighbours in the street think I'm Strange for always washing the car or Van or general tinkering with the car :grin:!!
I was up at Knockhill Race circuit today for the Scottish Vag day (photo's to come in another thread) :happy2: And spoke to a chap with same rims as me asked where he got them done he recommended and Company in Glasgow called The Polisher who specialize in split rims etc so I'll phone 2 morro :happy2:

I seen the white gti with the 19's on today at the meet, seen your motor parked in the main car park with your mates S3 looked good
what about the pudding who rolled the corsa on the warm up lap on speed sunday :grin:
-
Yeah the I no Andy with the white Gt on the Bentley's threw the lost boys forum Sound chap said to him to join this forum aswell :happy2: Aye couldn't be bothered showing it today car was clean when I left Ayrshire but hanging by the time we all arrived my mate had the the tt V3 Rkc and other 1 had the black Skoda fabia Vrs K55 Vrs he won best skoda of the day :happy2:
Saw wee Trumpet trousers in the corsa :laugh: Best 1 had to be the Rb5 buru that smashed the cone at the hairpin disintegrated his spiltter and fog light cover :driver: Then the white evo5 that binned it into the gravel trap :signLOL:
Toast
-
Mk5's look great on these wheels, Really suit them and still keep a stock theme. :happy2:
-
Nice rims and a cracking price for them there! The Polisher gets a good write up on other forums too.
-
I'm dying for a set of these, they look awesome on the mk5! Bargain price you got them for!
There is a place in Coventry called Pureklas that do good work on polishing splits, think they charge about £40 a dish for a full refurb and polish!
-
Great buy u got there.. are you going to change the colour of the centres?? A nice set of rimmage make such a difference.. Â Ash.
-
Phoned The Polisher in Glasgow today said he could do them with the polished lip and either painted centre's or bead polish them Hmm!! :party:
Hopefully get them done in the next couple of weeks Thinking of getting the centre's polished did contemplate doing them red like the car but not sure :confused:

Do them red to match the car.. If you have the centres polished u gta polish them all the time but it would look good..

I'm do think red would be different but think it would go out off date quick perhaps?! I'm quite lucky the car only gets used at the weekends so the polished look would be ok :happy2:

Great deal on the wheels.
You realise that tyres will cost around £200 a pop :sad:

not if your sensible about where you buy them, last set of conti 3's in 19" i bought cost me £320 for 4 (a one off bargain), but i know of other users who get top brand 19's for aprox £500
-
182 Blue
If that is the case, do you know where I can get some 18" Pirelli P Zero's for less than £130 each please.
Thanks

Thanks
why do you want p zeros?
-
P Zero's are what the car currently has - still on the original set that are fitted to the car (GTi Pirelli)
I will no doubt have to replace the fronts before the rears wear down so do not want to split the tyre types on the car. Will probably go for some harder wearing tyres when the rears eventually wear down. I expect the fronts to wear twice as quick as the rears.
Hope that makes sense :smiley:
-
What model are they ?, i.e P Zero Rosso or zero nero etc ?
-
www.blackcircles.com mate :happy2:
115 each for rosso's, i got neros and they are quite hard been about 2000 miles and no wear at all so far :surprised:
i did want goodyear assy's but needed them fitting right away and the garage recommended these instead and im more than happy with em so far.
toast- what colour did you get them done in, loving those matt black ones tc posted :party:
-
Just looked at the tyres on my car and they just say 'Pirelli P Zero' There is no other indication as to what sort of P Zero. I have thoroughly checked all of the writing on the tyre sidewall
Any other Pirelli owners out there have any idea
-
Ah right sorry Buddy, Gerry mentioned someone called Tom had phoned him and I assumed it was Tc as I knew his name was Tom :rolleye: :signLOL: I'll get some pics up shortly :happy2:

Toast, that Tom was indeed me, :smiley: What Gaz means is he rang me and i sorted the discount out, then wrote out the thread, and that was all done in time for Gaz to get his bloody discount.
MR Butler. :angry015: you can have the credit. :innocent: :rolleye:

Hey all well here they are :jumpmove: And thanks Tc for doing that :happy2: That's a drink I owe you when we are at Inters in June :drinking:

I'm just on Camskill's website looking at tyre's I can get 235/35/19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Gsd3's for £144 a pop or Toyo T1r's for £135 a pop Hmm :confused:

loooks like they have done a nice job :drool:
-
The Eagle F1 Asym's were £140 a tyre last time I had 2 - and these replace the GSD3.
-
They look the shizzle toast, I am disappointed though, you should have had the tyre's bought and ready to rock and roll.
Need to see them on the car. :party: :party: :party:
-
:drool: on the car already :party:

What will you do about the centre caps?

What will you do about the centre caps?
Is this for me mate? :laugh: :signLOL:
-
Nah, Toast who bought the Audi wheels.
I've always thought that centre caps on wheels for manufacturers other than that of your car look rather weird.
I guess BBS centre caps are available?
-
I think he has sold the wheels now mate. I agree with you though. I would change them to either BBS or VW ones! :happy2:
