Cars look great. Aristos, fat fives and are those BBS LM"s??? I'd kill for a set of those. but at $2500 for a used set, i don't think its gonna happen any time soon.
Is your golf a 1.8T? any motor mods?
Lower the front, you got some reverse rake going on!

The pics are in reverse order of rim history!

I got no rake - just 40mm lowered all round

The motor is remapped 1.8t - hence the 200 at present output
I'm going K04 soon - just cos I need a little more power!

I want 17" BBS RS for this - but it ain't gonna happen - they don't fit over my discs

I've been working on polishing the lips on a set of 18' Oettinger RS. the clear coat was jacked so i stripped it off and they're looking respectable again. so far it's taken me around 6-8hrs per wheel! Got new rubber and should be installed by the end of the week.( If i finish the polishing)
I'm eventually trying to peice together a whole Oettinger body kit, should look dope when I'm done.

pics of whenI first got them.

I was expecting a little "stretch and poke" .

Nice looking cars.

 

[ClaretBadger]

Roads in the UK are shocking
And I like to "drive" my car as it should be driven

I had the BBS LM's fitted with 215/35 rubber - but the ride was appalling

The 17" Competitions were better

The 16" Montreal's were better

Now I have full R32 suspension - arms, wishbones, track rods etc - it rolls on the OZ's like a frickin charm

Nice....I grew up driving an 83 Rabbit GTI.........it was only 2,000 lbs............That was back in the day when 14" wheels and H rated tires were considered high performance. No pics cuz there weren't any digital cameras in those days

I have been thinking about getting a gti for a second car for a while now. They are pretty neat little cars. both of your veedubs are pretty cool.

 

[ClaretBadger]

I'm on my 6th consecutive GTI at the moment

3 x mk2 16v's
2 x mk3 16v's

I believe when it comes down to your own cash - and for bang for buck - Veedubs win hands down


But I have had an aircooled 911 calling my name for a while now . . . . . .
