Love the car, but the wheels look tiny in this pic.......... :ashamed: Prefer a brighter finish, ETTO. I do like a white Golf :happy2:
Perhaps its the rim colour.
-
Nothing wrong with smaller wheels stokey :happy2:
-
I personally think the wheels look ugly as sin. I nearly bought some a couple of months back for track days only, purely down to the weight saving. I could not live with the look as a daily wheel. :sick: the only car that could carry them off on this forum for a everyday wheel would be Mat's because his car looks hard as nails with a bit of attitude. :laugh:
All my opinion of course :wink: :happy2:

I agree John thats why i nearly bought them. :laugh: Ended up getting the same as you for future track days. The TD's dont float my boat as a looker either but you cant beat them for price with a track wheel. :happy2:

What tyres did you go with for them?

Same as you. :star:

....
The OZ Alleggerita's tend to look smaller whatever colour they are. This is because the spokes don't extend onto the 'sidewall' of the rim as they do on other designs. I think the reason for this is probably to give structural strength - Many other lightweight motorsport wheels have the same spoke design feature, for example that Aussie car posted.
Having OZ Alleggerita's or Team Dynamics isn't all about eye-candy. There's plenty eye-candy rims out there if that's what's wanted.

All my opinion of course :wink: :happy2:
....But Mat's doesn't look much different from WhiteGTI's and neither look hugely different from Peskarik's - The main difference in their look is some black vinyl.
At a quick glance, black TD's look fairly similar to the OZ Leggy's except that the TD's are much more shiny and aren't quite as open, having three(?) more spokes. Difference in price is a totally separate consideration and nothing to do with how they look.
I honestly don't know what my 'Titanium' colour OZ's will look like when on the car - I might not like them!

Don't worry Robin......if you don't like'em I'll take them off your hands :signLOL:

Dont take it to heart Robin, you have frequently voiced your opinion's on members new wheels favorably or not.
I find the look of them ugly whether they are for fast road or track.
I would have them instantly if i could justify the cost purely for maybe 5 track days a year at the most.
But the look of the car is just as important to me as the speed and handling characteristics, I cant help that my Mother bought me hundred's of matchbox cars when i was a child. :signLOL:
If i wanted a wheel that filled both shoes, then i personally would look at something like MR Danza's or some of those forged Volks. :smiley: :happy2:
-
Which ones?
I like the Allegs, no way would I fork the money out for them when PR1.2s are available, but I certainly wouldn't sniff at being given a set!! They look lovely on Peskarik's car IMO.
Stuff can be as ugly as you like for track use, but that's when cost vs benefit comes in.

make your own minds up but both wheels are cool but u cant argue with the price of TD

....No problem whatsoever, mate :happy2: - In fact I support you giving an honest opinion whether it's different or opposite to mine or not.
I bet you still wish you had all those Matchbox cars. My generation was Dinkey toys including a Vulcan IIRC - Hedge would give me serious money if I still had that!
Like yourself, I (and many others here) like to dial in some looks with my functional choice. It's partly why I chose the Leggy's - They have a 'titanium' finish and I didn't want black.

Whatever the case, that's still a sweet ride.

....Absolutely! The TD's are excellent value for money. It's yet another prime example showing that common sense or money aren't always the deciding factors in our choices.

^^^^
TC!! Those are going to look absolutely stunning on your white car! :notworthy:
Don't be put off by what some say about keeping them clean - You know what you're doing and it'll just be a matter of a wipe and dry after each outing - Eeeeasy peeeeasy!
-
Bold choice TC....but a good un.
-
They wont be white by summer next year. I will be changing the colour. around April time hopefully, They are winter and track wheels only, not worried at all about them getting track scars or even curbed. :evilgrin:
-
^^^^
Yes I realised they were primarily for your track use, TC. I still think they'd look really good in white. It'll be interesting to see which colour you change them to.
For a short time I seriously considered ordering my Alleggerita's in red but it would probably clash with the Tornado Red and wouldn't quite look right on a 5-door imo.
-
Nope its because themz rimz iz ugliez. :signLOL:
they look business, they are business, the rest is conversation
The bling is not my cup of tea
The size "look" does not matter, it's 18 anyway
-
yes Robin but we all know he copied mine dont we as it was me who started the whole car wrap idea on the site :laugh: :booty:
WTF do you mean "copied" ? :angry015:
btw, I'm getting black mirror covers

Sorry matt, i didnt get my idea from you either.
Roof Wrap didnt cross my mind. Didnt you wrap yours later on in other areas? :wink:
Robin Planted my seed with the CF idea :wink:

Robin Planted my seed with the CF idea :wink:
^^^^ I got as far as reading "Robin planted my seed.." and was suddenly overwhelmed with a strong feeling that I should not read any further!
I think that WhiteGTI Chris was the first on this forum.

I think u will find out it was me that put white Gti on to raccoon mate and I was the first to try the carbon from them as they had just got it in when they did my roof as it's Been n my front badge for almost a year now. I think the first forum meet was the first time u had all seen it and white Gti was parked next to me lol with his in stock mode but I did steal the wheels from ben/ Vtec lol but there was no better choice for me as I think for the £££ you can't beat em pure and simple

my comment was not directed at u :grin:
-
But to be true we all take ideas from everything we see in life so we are bound to end up with cars that look alike lol it is a golf after all so come on someone do a roof chop :evilgrin:
-
LOL!!
Mat was the first to get his wrapped. I had been thinking about doing it for a long while from seeing the cars on the US forums, and when Mat brought it up as a topic on here, it kind of reminded me of how good it looks.
Who did it first doesn't matter haha!
Back on topic...Peskarik's car looks amazing! TC's car is going to look 'interesting' before the colour change I feel! Robin, seeing these photos I bet you can't wait to get yours fitted!

i had the first anthracite pescaras :P :P :P
