Diamond Cut

Amazing

Dont think my student loan would stretch to diamond cut and lower profiles + coilies lol

Think i may have to choose wisely!! First Year at Uni and could spend the lot easily on the 6N in about 30 minutes

I've just got a set, well yesterday. A set that are very similar tio the ones that came on the Mark 3 VR6 Golf. Except their 14inch and have 4 studs and not 5. Other then that their exactly the same. Can anyone can help with the name?

Bare in mind they need a referb.. but i'm not going all out on them, just winter wheels.

Will look good with the refurb you're gonna do, black with a polished or silver lip? Would look immense! (poss, RX's?)

Think i'll sand down the other two rims and primer them. prob sell them on, i only did a quck referb, i dint want to spent money on them as they're winter wheels.

Those would look mint with a lick of silver coat and low profiles, although with them being winters its really not worth spending it on them

Those rims only need camber adjustment to solve hitting the coilovers.

Isn't as bad as you think, get the set on & get it adjusted by a tyre fitter. Did you get the camber etc adjusted after fitting your coilovers? Cheaper & easier than finding another set of rims!

Those BBS's don't quite fill the arch the same as your Cups!

Did you try fitting one on the rear?
