I've got one, but don't know a huge amount about them. What I do know though, is when I bought mine it wouldn't start, even after continual cranking, it still wouldn't go. The garage replaced the glow plugs & it has started fine ever since, and that was 2 years ago now.

Is it not effectively the same 1.8T engine with a bigger turbo?? If so, it's something thats been done by many peeps on here. Have a search & you shall find!

I got mine a couple of months back from VW for just shy of £40. It's really easy to get to, just behind the coilpack. Probably 6 screws tops!

If you're not really fussed about switching, then don't do it just "as a favour to your brother". However, if you do really fancy a VR6, then maybe this is a good way of switching? Just my tuppence worth!

Awesome. Great work mate, thank you. They do look great on it, though I'll have to decide if I like this look better than chunky five spokes!?! I see what you mean about the C on 17s without being lowered!! :lol: I was thinking I might get away with if for a few months but I guess I'll have to get the suspension done first after all! Once again, thanks for the help, much appreciated. :)

Nice one mate, much appreciated, thanks. Trying to read up on how to do it myself, without much success!

Any chance of someone doing a rough photo-chop for me with these on my car? I tried last night, and failed miserably, I have no idea how to cut out a circle... :oops:

Another vote for the R32. I'd take both the Mk4 & the Mk5 over the Leon.

Yep, you are right. I'll have to look into these reps a bit more & find out if they are any good. Thanks for the help guys. Cheers, Doug

Good point Herisites, hadn't thought about that! :oops: I did see some replicas, I wonder if they'd be any good? Probably pretty heavy.

Spotted these on a new shape RS4 the other day & thought they looked pretty sweet. :-P I was originally after some BBS RCs or RXs, but due to being broke, I cant afford them! These seem much more wallet friendly! First off, Does anyone have these on their C, or have a pic of one with them on? Secondly, what's everyone's opinions on them? I'd be putting them on a standard Mystic Blue Storm. Cheers.

You can get a coilpack here for £125.

Here you go: Now...Brooke Burke anyone?

My 2p worth - most folk on here advise getting genuine VAG bearings (SKF) as they seem to last a lot longer than GSF ones.

Hello Dave... :)

I too think that the gold bolts, silver inners & gold BBS centre cap would look great. Very subtle, but classy! 8)

I'll definitely pass on the Hydras then! Cheers.

I guess I just fell in love with this pic of A20 Lee's motor & imagined mine with the same wheels really! :) I get what you are saying though Goldie, maybe they are not quite in keeping? Can't decide :?

Hmmnn... :? Any idea what the BBS RC weighs in at for a comparison?

Not sure if they do them? Try Here

Thanks for all the replies folks. It's looking like a battle between the BBS RX's, the RH AG Cups & the RH ZW1s then!! :? Rado.001 Good find with those pics, both wheels look great on a Raddo 8) I think the ones on the 2nd car might be the RH AG Cups rather than the RH RW1s. I might actually like the AG Cups better than the RW1s, though only just!! The missus likes the RX’s best as the RH’s are ‘Too Chunky’ apparently! To be honest, I can’t even believe she was entertaining the idea of me getting new wheels!! :lol:

I'm after some new wheels for the VR but I can't decide what to go for. I've added some pics of the ones I like best. Can you please take a look & give me some advice as to which ones you reckon I should go for. Cheers :wink:

Welcome mate. You've come to the right place for help as this site is great. There's loads of friendly & extremely helpful members. Keep an eye on the for sale section as there are always cars coming up. :)

PhilK, Any idea what the wheels in your first pic are? They are stunning! Just out of curiosity, I wanted to find out, not that I could actually afford to buy them!! :lol:

Any news on these mate?
