Jim at Alonze Custom Fabricators is the man responsible. Very highly regarded on the VWt5 forum (yes i cheat on Lg with other forums)

So they are now 17x9 on the front and 17x9.5 on the rear. Welds are very neat. They weight just under 20kg EACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: But they are propperly load rated for a t26 t5 at 750kg per corner


They are in the primer stage at the moment but spraying them a silver/blue pearlescent soon. Basically a very fine bright silver usually found on audi wheels.


Also picking up my new tailgate from Bristol on friday.

Banded steels sprayed up.

Used colour code Audi - Alu Matt code LAP6.
This is actually use on the Auti trim and wing mirrors on the RS and TT models and is meant to have a matt clearcoat but i use this on the Audi wheels as its a very bright silver and looks great glossed up. It consists of fine bright aluminium and fine pearl blue.
Looks like polished aluminium in person. I LOVE IT.

Coilovers are going on in the next 3 weeks and i need to respray my new tailgate.
Going with CMC coilovers instead of the Bilsteins. Purely because the CMCs go lower and are half the price at £500.
