Wheels - not bad, no kerbing damage but a few scrapes from clip on wheel weights which were put on against my instructions



Tyres - either brand new or borderline legal, depending on timescale! Still not sure what would look best TBH so might try and mock something up in Photoshop. Will let you know...

Ph2 wheels really work on an estate in my opinion as the dark centres match with the dark areas around the windows etc. Only took em off the estate as the 6j's rub depending on tyres, so now have some 5.5j GTi jobbies.

Hmmm, I'm torn. On one hand the P2 wheels were the ones I originally wanted, not even realising that there was a different 6J wheel so I was slightly surprised when I went to collect. But after several years I think I prefer the look of the P1 wheels! I've teased out the wings slightly so clearance isn't an issue, although it does highlight the surprising differences between tyres of the same nominal size.

Rather than clutter up Scrof's thread with pictures of my car (sorry ) I've put a couple of photos here.

Is our arrangement off now Kitch?

I didn't realise it was 'on' I thought it was just a possible avenue that might be available if you decided to swap wheels on one of your cars (though I never quite followed exactly what your plan was!)

If you do want ph2 wheels I'm going to have loads for sale soon, and I was only looking for a set of ph1's for Alex. Nothing's been agreed with anyone else and being that Alex is now on here I'm not involving myself any more other than to say I think Mat's estate looks sleeker with the ph2 wheels on

Well, sort of on, as in I was meant to make a decision and let you know. I was wanting to have my TGD finished and try one side in ph 1 alloys and the other in ph 2 alloys to see which I prefer, rather like wot Matt has done. I suspect I'd prefer the ph2 ones.

I'll wait to see what Alex wants to do, I don't want to tread on anyone's toes but the possibility of a swap has not been far from my thoughts since we discussed it a while back.
