Bump. Can anyone advise on my question in the post above? Would _6mm over the standard 18/8 Interlagos be legal?

Re: Wheel sizes, baffled...

Ok, I've been thinking more about this and have decided to get 17s rather than 16s. Looking at black MSW 17x8 running 225/45R17 Conti Ts830s.

Re: Wheel sizes, baffled...

Thanks. I've doing some more reading and it appears the MSW 22 has an offset of 45, which would result in a -19mm move of the outside of the wheel. I'm not sure how this would look, but I reckon all else being equal, less offset would be more desirable aesthetically, say 35 or 30?

Thoughts?

Placed a deposit on an 09 2.0tsi DSG in viper green yesterday. :D My intention is to run the Interlagos rims in summer, but swap for 16" wheels with winter tyres over the winter months. As I understand it I can fit 205/55r/16 MSW 22 black editions, according to http://www.performancealloys.com&...

Scirocco Service intervals??

Hi All,

I'm currently looking at a couple of Sciroccos and am wondering about when the 'big' services are and what jobs if any should be done at or around 40k miles.
My google-fu is lacking I'm afraid....

Re: Sold my Viper Green s13cco.

It was me that doesn't like the reg, but I don't like any private plates. Would've sold it if I'd snagged the car but was too slow!

Re: Sold my Viper Green s13cco.

I phoned them on Thursday or Friday, I forget which. Would've been over on Sat for a look but had stuff to do. Ah well, happy driving...

Great to drive and a high spec too.
Swine. I phoned Kaim Park about it last week! :D

Don't care for the plate personally though. Am now looking at similar specced vipers elsewhere...

How's the Dynaudio upgrade?
