Not sure what they were, don't think they had integrated carriers no?

I had read that the GTI and 1.6 tdi shared brakes, that was wrong. Had a look and my 1.6 tdi has carriers integrated into the hubs so need to swap hubs too to fit the 312mm discs and calipers. Probably won't be worth it if im not going to track it, might do it in the future though as I've got a remap and dpf removal planned.

Like the porsche wheels

Ah right yeah probably not worth the hassle. Just try upgraded pads and grooved discs maybe? Main problem is trying to get heat out of the discs so putting larger brakes on isn't necessarily the answer for you

The bottum point of the Posche logo allways points towards the valve on the wheels

I'm sorry your not able to understand the meaning of the winking smiley I put in there to symbolice that it was just a querky/funny comment...
Love the wheels... But normally people have a little bit of humor... But I guess I was wrong...

I do have humour but i didn't really see the joke at first because you didn't actually put any smileys... any way thanks for the comment.
p.s i really like your BBS... rather jealous haha

Well it was Cumbria Vag this weekend, went across with a group of mates and the Rollincrew.
Got a couple of shots on the Club Stand.
Porsche wheels fitted, Exhaust fitted (just need a video)




Thoughts and opinions welcome, Thanks for looking!

Good to see the bottom of the Porsche symbol is pointing at the valve...
