Yeah I have VWR Springs in it with the 19" wheels. Nice drop and still driveable.

I might have asked this before but is yours a DCC car? Also, are they much firmer/harsher than standard?

I don't have DCC nope - but you can fit different springs with it no problem.

They are better than standard springs, much sportier/planted feeling on the road. Ride quality is great too

How is the Revo going?

Hi , I am just about to collect my new car GTD DSG Mk7.5, i have the 19 inch rims on it too but wondered where you got your spacers from? what brand and wondered if it causes any issues? i presume with the spacer kit you get new lug bolts and lockers?

Motech do a kit but seems like its only 12mm front and back.
want to get mine sat like yours if possible.

Any help greatly appreciated

 

[Lyons]

Mine are H&R. Got them on eBay.

I have 12mm H&R in the front and 25mm Eibachs in the back. Personally, for bigger sizes I would only buy spacers which bolt on the hub instead of extended bolts.

Definitely gives it a nice fat look...

is there much difference between the revo map and the tuning box? I quite liked the idea of the box but there was a couple on here that seemed to be up for sale after a short time .

Mine just sold today (well hopefully) and I have to say I was impressed with it. Mark loves the map though.

i was keeping an eye on your advert, just can’t decide what way to go

 

[Jonny_W]

I would have let you fire it on as it takes 5 mins.

 

[pinto200]

sure let’s me know if it doesn’t sell

 

[Mark315]

Update.

Last winter I had a bad experience with the wheels, the salt on the road had interfered with the Diamond Cut finish. Reading on the forums it seems to be a common issue with them. I was lucky enough to have VW replace all 4 under warranty.

As I want to keep the Brescia wheels good for a few shows next year I went and bought a set of Gunmetal Pretorias.

So paid NuLuk a visit today and they swapped the tyres onto the Pretorias for me and when fitting we moved the spacers about. Gotta say I am chuffed with how they look.

Brescias washed, sealed and boxed up for next year...

Pretorias on...

[Lyons]

Looks well, prefer the Brescia’s personally.

Not sure if it’s some sort of Instagram filter you use, but would be nice to see some normal photos!

 

[Mpm95]

Looks even better with the gunmetal Pretorias imo

 

[redanni]

Had the pleasure of seeing this today, believe me when i say it looks fabulous

 

[Mark315]

Cheers fellas, gotta say i'm preferring these wheels on it so far.

Change is good

They look really wide....seem to fill the arches more than the Brescia’s!

 

[loud n low]

Better looking on the prets IMO.

 

[Mark315]

Definitely fill the arches better. I prefer the prets at the minute.

Thought the brake size would be an issue with such an open wheel but it hasn’t bothered me so far!

What size are the spacers? Looks a wee bit much at the rear but could be the pic just. I prefer the Prets too. Love how clean this always is. I’ve been off all week and still haven’t managed to clean mine
