RBT is definately on air.

 

that close up wheel rim looks shite

 

dont like that at all, doesnt look safe imo, and imagine encountering a kerb

owww

 

Can't see why people say they look shit. Think it looks really good myself, makes a nice change to everything else whilst still being cool.

 

you'd have to park half a mile away from kerbs with those

 

I think it looks bad because I know that it will handle badly, I like cars to perform, I do "get" the whole look thing, I just would prefer cars that go round corners, same reason I dont like all the huge wheeled fibreglassed up show cars particuarly either.

Stop being such a tart, mk1's rule ok. Infact the mk1 is probably the only golf worthy of being classed as a performance vehicle. Mk2's are plop, mk3's are worse, mk4's were only saved due to the fact they installed a decent tunable engine in the fucker, mk5's same as mk'4.

Golfs are like cossies they get worse as they get newer

 

love them, im going for something similar for the 3door, not quite as extreme though

 

lamb chops

Sorry to be negative but i think a 3 door might look a bit wanky on stretched tyres. I hope you prove me wrong though

 

Love a bit of euro











This one's not euro but still one of the coolest bug's i have ever seen

 

Loving the corvette wheels on the chromed bumper one

 

Totally understand those sentiments.

 

Love the Euro Look..

But then being into Classic Fords, Chubby 13's give me the horn anyway...


Something nice about a standard looking car, just lowered with deep dish wheel....



Certainly better than a Cossie on 19's looking like some sort of fookin Moon Buggy thats for sure

 

steve how the fook are you going euro look a legy.


mines on the floor and there is not much clearance

 

yours is about up to your kids knee, that aint on the floor, and your on 18s aint you?

euros a lot more than just lowering a car tho.

anyhow, if gregs got any sense he can snap these up quickly, not often see these or anything decent in 5x100...



8x17 and 9x17, time to get my arch flarer out...

 

Have to say I do like the Euro look Golf's

 

17's mate

 

Not going to be too stretched but the wheels will stick out into the arches rather than sit inside it.

 

ste , how much are they going for?

 

love the euro look, would love a Euro'd Mk1

 

ill tell you once i picked em up, hope not too late, bargain and rare as in a decent width and 5x100...

 

did you say its the same fitment as porsche in another thread? give me a shout when you get them

 

no, different fit mate, but can get conversion spacers from 5x100 to porker fitment (summat stupid, 5x756378053608 i think) as 5x100 is also some VW/Audi fit.

 

whats the offset on those?

 

Loving the golfs, some people just have their head in the sand.

 

something pretty usual ET30 i think, nothing nuts, but bearing in mind standard offset is about ET50 on scoobys (and most porkers actually) its pretty fucking low TBH, esp as the rears are 9s.

we gonna have to go wild with the arch flarer i think, lol

 

I think it's being done a little bit too much now tbh.

 

dont like all that euro bollox myself..

far prefer rally looking cars and track cars..

things that go properly,and not weighed down by stereos and hydralics

 

Euro look isn't about ICE and Hydros like the crooz scene.

Just subtle, cool looking cars.

 

ah well,
my view is....
'I still dont like it' lol

 

Here's a few pic of my Mate's old one.. personally i'm a big fan of the euro look.. but i used to love this Mk1, real luxury feel to it.. anf the noise!!!!

 

I do like the Euro look especially on older Golfs.....its summat different than the normal bodykit things....remember 'if you aint rubbin you aint dubbin'! LOL!

I also think that Escort looks awesome with those Euro rims on...fair play for having the bollocks to do summat a little different on a Ford!!!

As for stretched tyres.....check these fookers out......how they seal I'll never know.....

 

as long as you handy with the bead blaster you can get em to seal ok most times.

i got 195s on a 10inch wide rim no bother.

its when you try and do it with mega low profile it gets dodgy as you got no sidewall, so no stretch, so you fucked.

these worked jus fine, not had a problem yet

first euro Mk6 I've seen..

 

i love the euro look on mk1 golfs and mk1 caddy's, its all about subtle mods and bein stupidly low its just ace , ive wondered tho how the hell do they get the tyre to fit?

rich

 

with a bead blaster mate, easy enough, just need to find a tyre fitter thats up for it

 

im guessin thats sommat that pumps all the pressur in at once?

 

imagine a big tank with a nozzle on it.

close the nozzle handle, fill the tank with an airline to 250psi or so, put the end of the nozzle to the tyre edge (as you can easy get the tyre on the wheel, just no chance of getting it over the bead), put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and hope for the best, and pull the lever.

WHUMP

tyre edge is over the bead, and you probably deaf (or if you unlucky it didnt work and maybe something just hit you in the face ) then its just a case of putting the airline on the tyre and putting a load of pressure in it, should pop on properly from there.

can do it a pikey way with aerosol cans, ill see if i can find a vid to show you...

 

here we go, the "special" way of doing it...

this probably worth a thread on its own actually, as doubt many people have seen this before...

behond, my mate mike fitting 215s to a 10x16 in a very cool/special/pikey way...

I've seen that done before.
