    My New Rims

    There will be a full Mighty Mods video soon on YouTube with the "MK4 GTI CHALLENGE" that I'm doing with this car... Yes there is movement at the station! A number of people have been asking me to do an episode on the MK4 so it is in full swing, especially for you, the gang at VW Watercooled!

    But I wanted to share this pic with you of the GTI with the 18" RS4 rims and red calipers before the actual ep goes live. Hope you like it - I think they look fantastic!

    Keep your eyes on www.mightycarmods.com and the full episode should be up in the next 2 weeks!

    Mate that looks perfect. I can't say much else lol.

    Did you paint the rear calipers red too? You should do that

    HOT, HOT, HOT!!! Many people may not like the MK4, but I think they have it over the MK5. I love the rims man.

    Cos the rear brakes are smaller than the hubs on the wheels haha.

    I love the MKIV shape, until I got a MKV which originally I was not convinced by.

    x2 on that one. Took some time for me to like the MkV; I still think I like the look of the MkIV better in most aspects anyways (and of course there's exceptions).

    Can't wait for the episode on this thing man!!

    When I first saw MK5's driving around I felt far superior in my MK4 - but then I went and bought a MK5 because I think they're awesome and now I'm used to the shape of it but it does take some getting used to after the classic look of the MK4.

    In many ways I prefer the look of the MK4 over the MK5 even though there is 5 years of design between them.

    Yes the rear calipers are pretty small. But they are red!

    Some shipments came in from the UK, USA, and China last week which have now been installed so video coming soon!

    Looks great on those rims, did you get them from Tempe or are they genuine?
