Help and Opinions

[My GT TDI]

Been looking for some time now to swap the standard alloys on my TDi for something with a bit more style.

I have found these and would like to know your general opinion. Be honest, I can handle it.

Hopefully going to be getting 19'' unsure of the width, I think they are 8.5'' or 9''


Plus is there anyone out there who could photo shop them onto a Diamond Black TDi for me.

Sorry to say this but personally don't like them, look a bit....errm cheap?!

What sorta budget we talking?

[My GT TDI]

Budget of about £1500. The OX 1's are £1,140 with tyres. The OX 2's look nice.

Here's a link, suggest something. Looking for 19''.

If I was gonna change wheels, I'd be looking at the BBS CK's as shown in the thread below. They suite the looks of the Golf to a T. They dont come cheap I imagine but worthwhile.

Each to their own I guess though :wink:

ok well....tyres i would buy from mytyres here:

and I would choose these, and did:

That then leaves you about £1000 for some wheels, which is a shit load of money!

I've been reading through many of the threads and it seams that a lot of folk choose the BBS make?

Why is this?

Is it because they are suited to the car, or are they a better quality product.

I was trying to stear away from the norm and be a little 'out there'........ where ever that may be?

[Mr_Sixx]

I think its down to BBS' suiting the car and also the quality too...cant blame you for trying something different though, thats what its all about!

Right.... I've had a look at the BBS wheels and the only one's I like are as always the ones that I can't afford BBS RS-GT at £700 a wheel!! :cry:

Had another look on Dub Meister and have found some tasty rims. What do you think of these.....? Again be honest, a mate at work said the OX1's looked cheep and naff..... we're now not talking :laugh:

(these prices are all rims wheels only)

Firstly, (these I like, and supprisenly there the cheepest) ASA AR4 @ £739.20 :thumbup:
Second, RH AU Phonix @ £892.00
And finally RH AU Vesuv @ £808.00

Rubber is now not a problem thanks to Nobber :thumbsup: for the link to mytyres :burnrubber:

I have chosen the alloy's and now i'm stuck again as i have no clue no fitment!

Wheels are 19 X 8.5 et 35
Tyres will be 235 x 35

1) Will this combination work?
2) Would it be possible to have a 19 x 9.5 et 35 rim on the rear?
3) If so would a 235 tyre fit?

The car is not lowered.

Any help and pointers would be apprecated.

No.

I have a staggered set of 19's waiting to go on the car (19x8.5 and 9.5). I'm using 225/35F and 235/35R. I don't expect much rubbage because my wheels are et45. If you get ET35, they will poke, rub, and you will be miserable.
