:) Phew! Leggera's went back yesterday(thinking I should of kept them now) and my borbet lw's turned up at 16:30 so quick dash to tyre fitters and back home to fit,I must say though the finish has surprised me they are very bright,no spigots to fit(very oe) but unfortunately the oe vw wheel centre caps don't fit but no problem as I've sourced some if a want them,I will try to get some decent pics as possible as i drove through a storm to work this morning also i'm driving to Cornwall straight after my weekend shift.For the price I paid for these I'm happy with the quality and weight though on my dodgy bathroom scales they came out at 23lbs but the combined weight of one wheel and tyre is 2.5 lbs lighter than the 18" oe set up so not bad jumping up a size,here's a few rough and dirty car iphone pics anyway.

still not sure if I've made the right decision yet,I do like the design and colour of this alloy and the front tuck/poke is what I wanted it's just to me anyway at the moment they don't look like 19"?even though the spokes go right to the edge of the rim,maybe my last 19" alloys oz st lm spoilt me lol
They look fantastic, and definitely keep an OEM feel to them particularly if you acquire a set of VW centre caps that fit.
The OZ ST LMs, particularly in 19s with any lowering, do end up looking bigger due to the design. I think these look just right.
I do love perving on big wheeled slammed Dubs, but for my own ride as a daily I will stick to the practical choices.
I think that you probably could have got away with the OZ wheels in that width/offset, however these wheels do look good too. Understand the quandary you were in - it's a fair few $ in rims that have to get taken off the car if you ever do get defected (but think these would have been borderline OK).Quote:

On a side note I've been trawling through this thread and updating the first posts in this thread with all wheels/specs that Dutch has been putting up..... sort of a summary of everything in this thread in 1 page :)
So if you've come along later and don't want to trawl through 50 pages you can go to the first page - just be warned it's a massive page of wheels!
Massive thanks for the help in getting that 'project' under way too. :cool:Quote:

Yes there's been a fair amount of work go into it (a massive chunk of it by Dutch77) so I figured no point in having it all lost in the middle of a 500+ post thread.Quote:

I'm hopeful with the GTI and R hitting the US that will spur the next round of wheel updates, otherwise I need some of you guys who love wheels and own a Mk7 to start updating!
More thanks to tigger73 for actually getting the opening pages up to date now as well, massive job and hopefully improves the thread for all users. Might need to create a small Tiguan one at some point, I have come across some heavily worked Tiguans while researching this thread (and Jettas, Passats..).
