    The lower control arms are a later addition I think... 10d is very approachable... send him a PM and ask.

    Found the rims I'll be getting. 19x8 WedsSport lightweight sa55ms..



    I'll use my tyres that come with scirocco for now and then change them out to 245 or 255's later. Now to wait for the reply email on shipping costs.

    Nice choice in rims Bain, keep us updated and let us know how it goes !

    Any thoughts on gloss black talladegas going onto the scirocco?

    I would love to see your ride with those rims! I'm not looking to get a white one but white+dark tint+black rims might convince me...

    Thats a lot of wheel cleaning right there mate.

    Buy some good wheel cleaning/protection products!

    This is true.

    Being so indecisive I looked at the black option as well and have photoshopped some rims, lowering (25mm) and tint just to get a feel for them.



    Think ill stick with 19's as I do like to drive hard through the hills and would hate to grind a rim!
