pro3mark Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Gottis look nice mate, i'd do 20mm front, and 20-30mm rear.That'll get it sitting nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croakey Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 well we've gone from wide...to...erm....narrowSold the a8 winters on this very forum, and bought myself some new g60's as winters/dailies, thinking was they'd arrive and i could get some fresh tyres on them before my current ones get too illegal. Was hoping to the swaparoo and put the coils on friday/saturday/sunday next weekTo find this morning that one had gone flat.... FMLSo today i've been rolling on a space saver - and using my Ibiza for a few days. How long can i use one of these for?? I'm hoping a few days...maybe a week LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 as long as you dont exceed the speed limit marked on the wheel youll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 They shoul not have put 80 on the wheel, even if it does say KPH under it. So i hope your sticking to 50 with it on and taking corners in a boring fashion! I used mine a few times, on the front, it felt, drove and sounded like it was just rolling on the metal rim, so noisey and no grip at all. Dangerous in my opinion, so with my sensible side i bought a new 14" steel and tyre for the boot Tidy looking Arosa though, 1.4S Manual is not a common spec either.

croakey Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Yeah I've stuck to under 60 when i used it- am using the Ibiza sc until my g60's arrive And yeah from looking around a late 1.4s is a rare beast...she's in ok nick but has been cleaned using a housebrick by the previous owner lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croakey Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 What are the standard wheels this on thing worth??? Got no use for them in a few days? 100quid? Or chuck them in a skip??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 How many sets of wheel now croakey ? I thought I was the only one that bought things and never fitted them and sold them at cut price.well you are doing a good job importing all these wheels from germany to the uk for everyone else lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croakey Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Gottis are still here, but I needed tyres all round urgently and there's no rush to run polished splits coming upto winter...so g60's running 195/40/15's will be the dailies and then the gottis will find their way on for next year if the cars still here Also i need to know if there's a Market for the standard rims or skip them????

croakey Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 ...and jowey lol- I can't help it I just love finding cool rims lol! Worrying thing is I've mentioned maybe half of them on here,the rest are just too big for the arosa lol- like 17" gottis, and 18"'artec splits etc lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
