Check out the wheel choices on the link. Plenty available but BIG dollars

Hmmm - that site values the R36 wheels as more exxy than the Interlagos.
Wonder if that'll hold any sway over a dealer?

Lennock have one on the showroom floor and a few in their holding bay. They look pretty good.

Nice to get an up close look at some of the Mk6 Golf switch gear too.

Yep. If you're gonna change em, do it right. Same with tyres.

No prizes for getting that answer right.

Got my invitation to the official public viewing of the CC on March 2nd.

Already seen it of course but nice to get invited.

Saw one yesterday at the dealership, personal I still prefer R36. =)

Looked at the CC yesterday... black one with privacy glass, tan leather interior. Very nice. If it had 3 back seats I'd buy one instead of the R36 - more subtle.
