thats what i'm abit worried about, i'll need to lower it ALOT and i'm going for coilovers anyway but on 15's its gunna be too low surely? does anyone do a similar style wheel in 16"?
ah right, cool. what offset do i need to be looking for then? i'm currently driving an ibiza cupra so don't know all too much about the 172/182's yet. i'm looking to buy one in january.
cheers
yes mate, outwood. i'm selling my cupra in january for a 182, just fancy a change but to be honest i love the cupra. where abouts are you? i pass you alot down near the half way house if i remember correctly.
looks good mate, i like that. do you live anywhere near wakefield? i think i've seen u about. i've got a silver ibiza cupra with the obvious number plate (user name)
ha, not much help that mate, just bloody competition! ha
anyway matey, let me know if u know of any1 whod want it so i canstart with the 172.
cheers, Tom
Im from wakefield, west yorkshire mate. its silver. totally standard. split rim bbs wheels, climate control etc.
think im gunna go for the k-tec cage aswell or maybe just the carbon rear brace n put the harness round it. would look cool i think?
cheers, Tom :)
thats fine mate, just needed an idea how itd look. i like it. itd look even better with a cage n no rear seats and harness. hmmm.... just need to sell my polo gti. if any1 knows someone who wants a mint, standard polo Gti, let me know. then i can get started on the 172.
Cheers, Tom :)
dunno y, but im thinkin about a black 172 on anthracite 182 wheels, dropped pretty low on coilovers. i know people dislike the 182 robot wheels but i think itd make a change n might suit. if not ill just sell em i guess.

which exhaust/system have you got on that mate? cant decide wether to go for the cup or 172. think ill get the black 172, coilovers n exhaust to keep me goin til i save some more cash up. anymore pics of that 172 mate?
Cheers, Tom :)
hi, ive done a search already and not really uncovered what im looking for. Im wanting to know which springs would lower the 172 around -60mm. the lowest i can find is -40mm.
cheers, Tom
i agree mate, but would never put 17s on a cup. itd feel sooo wrong. think ill end up gettin the cup to be honest be ill see. think the cup and coilovers is the way to go.
Tom
good good. think i will go with the turinis. wheres the best place to buy em? ive tried k-tec, potn and s-link so far. not bad prices but k-tec seem abit more expensive than others?
forgot to mention its the mk2 172 im after. still dont know which to get?! the turinis look great but id be payin out good £ for wheels that are standard on the cup. seems abit of a waste to me. which are the best springs to get also? want it sittin just above the tyre, will eventually get...
looks good matey, wanna go for performance type/lookin wheels. speedline and OZ are the way im wantin to go. they do look luvly on your car tho, suit it really well.
Tom
Im soon to be buying a 172, am very tempted for the cup but think ill end up gettin the non-cup version. so, i am deciding which wheels to get and cant make my mind up?! the obvious choice would be turinis as they do look awesome on the cup, but comp 2s and superleggaras have caught my eye. has...
