Nicest wheel on the golf imo. Loved them on my white silver GTD. not fussed on the current wheels to be fair.

Agreed, wouldn’t be a massive fan either. New ones are perfect though.

The current wheels are my winter set up with winter tyres, they're just easy cleaned which was the main factor in their choice as well as the PS4S' are a bit woeful in winter.

Picked up a set of new genuine Brescia alloys today, as I'll be selling the Pretorias, just need to get the Michelin PS4S' moved across now.

They look class. Will suit your car perfectly. Are you running 225/35/19 tyres?

I have 235/35/19 PS4S and getting rubbing the odd time at speed if I hit bump on road only on front right/ front

Yeah I’ll be running 225/35R19’s, I’ve never had an issue even with my 8.5J wide et45 bbs’ but I stay at standard height.

You’re running spacers aren’t you? Might be worth taking the front two off and to see if it solves the problem, then you could always go for smaller spacers.

Finished ceramic coating the alloys in Gtechniq C5 and plopped in the red centre caps off the Pretorias so they're nearly all set for spring. Just need to find suitable spacers for them now but can't decide if 12mm front & 15mm rear is too much, as I don't want stones thrown up the side.

I have Forge and H&R spacers - 10mm and 15mm (I think)

More than welcome to try them (Dundonald)

The best wheel for the GTI. Car is looking really well :cool:

Where did you get the wheel device (or whatever it’s called!)?

Got the Michelin PS4S' moved across yesterday, and gave the car and wash and fitted the Brescias today now that we're back toward the warmer weather. I also gave the Belvederes a good deep clean to put away until next year.
