Re: gloss or matt black alloy wheels

I'd say black wheels have been overdone completely, especially on white cars. Go for Silver 8) And what do you think was overdone completely for years before people began putting black wheels on white cars?...Silver! If the opening question applies only to white cars, take a good look at all plasti...

Re: Darrens GTi

I'm sorry to inform you, but with those 35mm springs on the front with a 10mm spacer you are going to be rubbing big time on cornering.

Out of curiosity, did you use bolt on hub-centric spacers or did you have enough hub to get the job done with standard 8 & 15mm spacers?

Re: Changing wheels vs tyre pressure indicator

I'm not convinced its soley relative to the ABS at all. I've changed my GTI wheels to 18inch and have always reset the button however last week my tyres were well down on the 38psi I had in them...6 psi to be precise and I had no warning the pressures had dropped. Previously with the 17inch wheels I...

Re: 1.2 Polo Match :D

Those gti stockies painted gloss black would look much better in matte black due to the numerous matte black inserts on the exterior of the car...much more complimentary to the overall look.
