Dark Arrow (tmavá šipka) - an evolution.

[Gti Dave]

Plans always go out the window, I wasn't going to touch the skoda...then decided that I needed detailing gear to keep it nice...1k+ went out the window...then I decided that she was quick, but could be quicker...got her tuned...then decided that the wheels are nice, but it needs nicer ones!

So it's easy to get carried away isn't it! I'm trying to tell myself "that will do for now" lol

I can only agree with everything you said mate. Its all too true. One things always leads onto the other.

Haha

*gotta go! boss is calling* lol

I nearly wet my pants when i saw those wheels on the black car. Should go well with the black wagon. Still prefer the oettingers though.What car is it that? The wheels look and sound expensive.

hehe ; ) .. no idea what the car is .. tho I'm sure someone more familiar with jdm than I am will know. I still like the Oettingers a lot but think I prefer the mesh style a little more. They're a bit over $2k, but that's the fantastic thing about leasing - having extra goodies built into a lease from the start comes in handy! : D

i'm jealous already! congrats on the purchase. when do u get the car?

thanks .. dealer hasn't given me the vin yet, but he 'claims' that it's still on the boat and only 2-6 weeks away .. once I get the vin of course I'll look her up on the tracking site

Congrats!

Wheels do look hot, thats for sure!

thanks dru .. yeah but thought I'd at least try to setup some kind of semi-structured plan so that each modification can (hopefully) be done while keeping the final stage in mind ie. stage 3 tune specs. I spose my aim is not to modify then have to upgrade previous mods in order to cope with other newer mods ... but I guess time will tell how that theory goes ; )

1k on detailing gear is a good effort!!



.. so I went and checked out ontherun motorsports this arvo and spoke to Ken? and he was extremely helpful .. said that they'll have to put in an order for the wheels and then wait for the batch to be made, and after that they'd get shipped over to Oz with the rest of their gear - I think they might be worth the wait?


here's my (fairly dodgy) attempt to photoshop a black RS wagon with the Homura's ..




I prefer a concave-type wheel .. these are sort of? concave I spose but still my fav's so far.

found a few pics of occy's with 225/35 on 19's here (all with 50 offset) ... I reckon I like that size - a lot! : D









and this one was just cool : )



.. and who wouldn't want a set of these!?! ; D

Dude, could be my eyes but there Convex rims, the opposite of Concave.

Not a fan personally, anything that protrudes from the wheel reminds me of a hubcaps

Plus your even more exposed to gutter rash!

[bluefrog]

yeah true, although the inner section is concave and the outer is convex ... regardless, having gathered my thoughts over many days I doubt that those wheels would really suit a wagon. Think I like the V710's in gunmetal much better having seen this Audi.



photoshop attempt .. (hope you don't mind me using your quality pics GTREA?!)



VMR V710's @ 19 x 8.5, 5x112, bore 57.1, 45 offset (says it suits the A3 ... hmmm, same as Octy RS ???)

.

Yeah go the VMR's and if the black octy in the pictures above has an offset of 50, I think the extra 5mm will make it sit almost dead flush with the guards but I love your plan and I've been trying to convince my parents to get one of these but they don't like the idea of being on a lease

[bluefrog]

for the purposes of tax deductions and cash flow, leases are fantastic.

hmmm, maybe I should just go with these beauties for my black shagin wagin? ; )

[Cookie28]

^ Yes. Do it

the VMR ET45 19x8.5 sit flush with the body

.... those last set a hot
