Amber Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Spot on The GTi and Bathursts are so well matched. Gotta be one of the best sets of OEM standard wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 mmmmmm cleannn Looks awesome mate, and OMG, that picture could easily be a brochure picture.Bathursts are one of the best wheels i have ever seen on a GTi, tiny bit of spacing on the rears and it would be perfect.

greenson Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 lol yer I know, had some RM's on my mk2 with stainless dishes and they were amazing, just stayed spotless all the time for some reason!! the comp's would have to be silver, not keen on the other finishes tbh.Just need to keep my eye open in the classifieds for some, still got a couple of months before the shows come thick and fast haha. Spend too much time looking at wheels.....Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenson Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Well, Ive been undecided on what wheels to get from the beginning, I really had my heart set on some compomotive 15x8 TH Mono's and even trial fitted Trav's (cheers mate)But I saw these for sale and got them for a pretty good price, so I decided to bite the bullet..15x7 BBS RSIm going to space out the rears too, then maybe swap the dishes. So not silly wide but still VERY driveablecomments welcome,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
