Golf GTI + BBS = Good times.

[Jason_E]

So I've finally done something noticeable to the Golf. After finding some wheels I quite liked the look of on Sunday, I found myself in the car going to collect them. By last night I'd not only done that, but fitted coilovers. Funny how things work out.

This is the fronts all the way down, I'm guessing they need time to settle. But the fact I spotted after fitting them that they (According to the invoice note) are for a MK6, may not help. Meh, they fit. They make horrible banging and grinding noises and the tyres keep catching, but for now its fine.

That's nice.

 

[Daniel]

What's the point in having a hot hatch that bangs and scrapes and the tyres rub?!

You're such a chump.

 

[ben81]

Does look nice though! I've never seen those wheels on a car before, I thought they were shart but the do look really nice. Shame about the scrubbing etc.

 

[jesus]

Ruined.

 

[BoatNonce]

Nice wheels, shame the car doesn't work with them on.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

They're horrendous!

 

[_Tom]

Not a fan tbh.

It won't for long! Trust me, if I cant sort it it's getting raised higher! It's fine on smooth roads, just big bumps and pot holes that cause it. Think it needs a touch of arch work, maybe adjustable top mounts just to get it sweet. Job for the weekend anyway.

Either way, it goes around roundabouts even faster now. Can't wait to get it sorted for rougher roads.

Typical CS response. But personally VW's and BBS's are a perfect combination, I'm personally not too keen on the ones on your MK5 but it's certainly different to the norm.

The balance between good fitment and drive-ability isn't always easy.

 

[AdDaMan]

Awful!

Oh don't come in here with your intelligent response, it just doesn't suit.

But yes, the height is more than drivable. I just have to sort the front so it doesn't catch (what I think) is just the arch liner. Could be a case of just rolling the lip on the arch and it's done, at least I hope. The car is about driving, not scraping the floor. That's why I wanted the 18's, so I can lose the arch gap but keep a sensible ground clearance!

They look almost identical to OZ F1s, but with 5 pairs of spokes instead of 6.

But they ARENT and Cliosport will never accept me for it. EVER!

They actually look at lot like R32 GTR wheels in person.

 

[Daniel]

I like the look of the car with them on, it looks wicked!

 

[Mr R.]

Looks wrong.

 

[Herr Flick]

I like the wheels but they look a little strange on the Golf for some reason. Maybe not used to seeing anything other than loads of spokes.

 

[matt_132]

That looks great! They look like they come standard.

 

[Fletcher]

Not a fan of those wheels TBH.

 

[Cookie]

Horrible, but then the car is s**t to start with

 

[matt_132]

Jeez!

 

[Jekyll]

The wheels and the car do nothing for me.

 

[chris_p]

This is going down well, lol.

Sorry mate, I'm not a fan either. I don't actually like the gti at all, it's almost as boring as a Seat Leon.

 

[Clart]

Looks pretty naff tbh, and probably drives even worse.

 

[Stefan.]

Not a fan.

 

[kash]

Not my favorite BBS wheels but i like it non the less, Is that deep sea blue?

Shadow blue!

Personally, I feel this has gone better than expected for Cliosport.

 

[SC03OTT]

Not really a huge fan of those. In fact, I plain don't like them. The car is otherwise very nice.

 

[JoeyD]

Quite like those. They fill out the arches very well!

 

[Ray Gin]

Looks good, nice to see something different.

 

[bennettxo]

I like it

 

[.GAZ.]

Needs adjustable top mounts IMO.

 

[Jason_E]

Needs adjustable top mounts IMO.

Aye, I just sent some dodgy f**k some not legit money for some.

 

[Addicted]

Not a fan of the wheels at all!

 

[Cliosaregay]

yeah Jason should have just copied the majority of excitingly different users on this forum by getting some Turini's or something ....

 

[Rob]

I'm not sure I like them, but it may grow on me..

 

[Ian_182]

What a crock of shite.

Why would you take a perfectly nice golf gti,then pick the wrong alloys for it and round it off with the wrong suspension.Im not sure why you've done this but each to their own and all that.Ill leave a copy/paste underneath for you to read.Just answer me one question,if youd read whats below in the advert would you have gone and bought the suspension even...lol
