First post in the forum and damn this car is fresh. Don't know why you'd want to sell it.

What offset are you running front and rears on the rotiforms? I'm looking to get some new rims and love your fitment.

[StuRenfrew]

Wheel choice number 1 I'd say, not actually seen a rocco with them I don't think

Thanks Guys! Really interesting to see people's choices, it's helped make my decision... See more below

Thanks dude! They are staggered fitment so the fronts are 8.5J et45 with 12mm spacers and rears 10J et35 without any spacers.

Small update. The car has had another full service at VW ready for Friday's European trip. We've got our route planned and will be driving through France, Belgium and Germany... pics to obviously follow I stuck a GB sticker on last night, so obviously had to get a pic...



I'm still waiting for a correct front tyre to be delivered after oponeo sent me an incorrect tyre - they have been absolutely useless so avoid at all costs. Who knows when the correct one will turn up, however in the meantime I've fitted my rears:



I also had a special delivery today (big thanks to JamesE for sending me these for free!!) of some 15mm spacers! I'm currently running 12mm up front and wanted that slight extra poke so hoping these will help...



Plus - the big news - ordered my new winter wheels! I'm keeping it quiet for the time being (I know it won't last) but currently saving for tyres. I'll put a few layers of sealant on too then the plan is to get them on for September ready for winter. Who knew, I'm excited for winter already!

Keep your eyes peeled...

Hahaha! Well they were going to stay a secret, but they looked so good and it lasted 1 day before I posted up on Instagram/Facebook about them.

Here they are, the new winter wheel set up - 4 X Genuine VW Motorsport Alloys 19 inch in anthracite. I couldn't be happier, they look unbelievable in person!



I'll get some pics up once I've test fitted them too. I can't wait!

On another note, this weekend I'm over in Belgium. We took the eurotunnel yesterday - to say it was a tight squeeze would be an understatement. Ended up curbing a rotiform



Surprisingly not too fussed though, my plan was to sell them soon anyway to fund something a little more special

I've got loads of great pics so far but they're all on my SLR so can't upload any until I'm home. Here's one I shot on my iPhone, we were somewhere lost in the Netherlands yesterday afternoon...



Hope you like! More pics to follow soon...

They looks wonderful mat, I am really jealous!
What is the width and ET? They are 19" and OEM too but which model are they, I would like to know how much too.
Thx

[Tom]

Thanks dude! They are 8j with an offset of ET41. They cost me just over £600 but they are 100% mint with not a single mark on them, plus got some free carbon collective platinum wheel sealant thrown in too.

You can get the white set of the same spec on eBay for £450 as we speak, but white wasn't my preference (plus always skeptical about buying "genuine" parts on eBay!) - just search for VW Motorsport Alloy.

Hope that helps,
Tom

For those who haven't seen already, the VW Motorsport Alloys are finally on!





Hope you guys like!

It is amazing Tom, looks very nice. What is the ET and width?

[RyanC]

Looks spot on mate, you running spacers?

[roc82]

I didn't expect to look this good

[Tom]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I'm so happy with how they look. They are 8j wide, ET41. I've got 15mm spacers on the rear and 12mm up front but think I'm gunna have to reduce the rear spacer to 12mm to tuck them when air is installed.

I had a photoshoot done tonight too, here is one of many pics...
