Looking good, but then I would say that!

I think is 40-50mm...  It is noticeable.

Im going to keep the pescaras, I did have them for sale at 500 without tyres and had 2 takers but I think I would regret selling them :rolleye:

Seriously though, they really look their best on red cars.

Look so much better than the standard ed30 wheels. I remember when the ed30 came out I was offered a silver or black one brand new for £19,995. I walked away because I thought it looked dull and boring on
the pescaras. If it had these I'd have an ed30 now

I was exactly the same Ryan, hence I ordered my car and insisted it came with Black Huffs!  :drinking:

Sorry but...... i really prefer the originals. Always someone with another opinion im afraid. Nice colour car though! :santa:
Title: Re: New wheels fitted!
Post by: Aparoon on December 17, 2009, 03:08:16 pm
Nothing wrong with that, I nearly had the originals painted black but just couldnt resist these  :smiley:

....

I think the black 'Huffs' look absolutely perfect on the Ed30 and can't understand why VW didn't supply them on all the Ed30's as standard - They relate perfectly to the Monza.

The Pesky's are a great classic design but not unique enough for a special edition, imo.

sorry but me too , imo the pescara s in any colour look best on the ed 30  :chicken:

Looks like i am in the minority here, but i much prefer it with the standard Pescaras

yeah never been a fan of the monza's and in london now you see loads of tdi's, mkiv's and polos with them on...

but the huffs in black do look rather special and look good on your car   :happy2:

but I am pleased my ed30 came with pescara's as standard, huffs are bit to bling for me
