Post by: Top Cat on August 06, 2009, 07:47:20 pm: The Kit is nice no doubts but Surely you wont be able to insure it. :grin:

I personally think the Pirelli should be unmolested, its uniqueness is its selling point for me, that along with the KO 4 :pomppomp:
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: Oli on August 06, 2009, 07:47:47 pm: Fantastic looking wheels, get a :happy2: from me.

However, remember that UK weather conditions annihilate diamond cut/lacquered wheels very quickly
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: Greeners on August 06, 2009, 07:49:47 pm: Holy mother of the great lord! Those wheels are lush! :love:

IMO the wheels would be the only thing I would do to a Pirelli. Oh and whatever you do don't sell the original wheels if you do change them :happy2:
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: candy turbo on August 06, 2009, 07:50:00 pm: if your buying a pirelli and changing the wheels why not go for an ed30 that wat you can get a better colour and dont have to put up with the :sick: interior trim :scared:
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: Rich on August 06, 2009, 07:52:06 pm: I love the interior of the Pirelli !!!

I didnt like it at first... but its growing on me the more i see the seats :love:

*EDIT* Reflex Silver is gorgusss :pomppomp:
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: candy turbo on August 06, 2009, 07:57:46 pm: imo if the car was yellow would look good but ...............

and them wheels are gorgeous

Or the insurance people will have a fit :signLOL:
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: keith on August 06, 2009, 08:52:07 pm: I like the alloys, as above dont seel the old ones as come resale time it may cost you dearly, I would certainly want the orig wheels.
surprised for Ottinger as norm i dont like there stuff.

Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: Cochese on August 06, 2009, 09:01:50 pm: They're nice wheels, but I think the pirelli comes with nicer wheeks as standard. I'd stick with them. (if you don't bags first dibs at buying them off you :pomppomp:)
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: Andy on August 06, 2009, 09:12:58 pm: i was looking at buying these alloys a while ago but couldn't find any body that sells them
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: prepree on August 06, 2009, 09:37:59 pm: 100% yes from me, i love these alloys :drool:

....I wholeheartedly agree :happy2:

In fact I almost feel the same about the Ed30. But the Pirelli is much rarer.

I vote yay for those oettinger alloys providing the original Pirellis are kept for the next buyer (you'll get a better price). I've seen them in the flesh and they look excellent. But watchout for the dreaded white worm!!

:happy2:

Churchill dog voice on.............

OOOohhhhhh yessssss! :happy2:

I love 5 spokes as well. :love:

Undecided on the diamond cut finish for the UK roads as Oli said, but I know they do other finishes too :wink:
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: wigit on August 06, 2009, 09:48:35 pm: my view is if you mod a pirelli keep the oem bits off it, yes its a bit martmite but ours has really grown on me, indeed the alcantara is brilliant, wheels are anightmare with my missus :sad1:

colour wise its got to be graphite blue in a 3 door

i'll happily take the four rims off you though :wink:
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: Rich on August 06, 2009, 10:16:13 pm: What ever colour.. they all look fab... :star:

Just proud to be an actual GTi owner...
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: celica on August 06, 2009, 11:29:21 pm: didn't read the post properly, Pirellis nice choice.

is the tdi wide arch sold?

i saw you sold the tdi due to insurance issue with mods. personally i would keep it standard and keep it in good condition
Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: matsu on August 07, 2009, 08:53:32 am: i like...... except for the wheels i,m afraid. prefer more spokes/less open space on rims. but love the bumper front splitter and the rear bumper.
and this silver thing is growing on me lol :ashamed:

Title: Re: Oettinger Rims - YAY or a NAY ?
Post by: T88OMM on August 07, 2009, 02:45:44 pm: The Pirelli should be left completely standard apart from the wheels, suspension and engine. It has many unique features that single it out from the crowd, it would be silly to change any of that :wink: As far as the wheels, not for me personally, not enough spokes, BBS FTW :happy2:

haha true, although what about leather recaro's with matching yellow stiching on the outside edge! that'd look decent but inkeeping with the look! its what id do if i had the $$$$ n keep the standard front seats for when it came to sell!

+1
these classic alloys look much better, they have a lip and they come in gray color as well. Seen these at Oettinger. If I were buying Oettinger alloys I'd only buy RE
