Big fan of the colour and the wheels, will look sweet once your eibach springs are fitted :) the gti front grill looks so much better aswell

My baby's have arrived!

Although I'm not too satisfied with the condition with one of them as it seems to have picked up a scratch. Couldn't get a good picture to show you put it's not that big, but it is fairly deep and does show up.

Meaning they will come and pick it up tomorrow and send me a new one out :( Nevertheless my tyres haven't arrived yet :)

Looks good mate, can't beat the good old G60's :). shame about the little scuff but its barely noticeable.

They really are low maintenance which is great for the winter months.

It looks worse when you see it face-to-face - I wouldn't of been too bothered if it was light but the scratch is deep through the paint. Having them sent back and a new one sent. The delay sucks though!

I must admit it is 'gleaming' at the moment - Can't wait for the new wheels and the lowering springs to go on, Should set it right off for the summer :D

I would of done the same to be honest mate, if you pay good money for new wheels then you expect them to be perfect.
You have done the right thing, its just a shame about the wait.

Did you get them off ebay yeah? got mine off there for £35.00 per wheel
