So i have narrowed my choice down to 2 wheel options, trying to stay away from Pegs (although i have found a good price for 19's with tyres if anyones intrested?)
So first we have, TSW Hockenheims:

or BBS ch replica's:

Both will be 18's and battle ship grey or black.

Plenty on the VW forums, but then you gotta mess around with adaptors and all sorts. These will just fit straight on. As nice as they look haha

Out of those two I would say BBS. But have a look Rota wheels they are very light. Also team dynamics Imola the style you are looking at.

Aren't rota wheels difficult to find in 5x108 and not very strong? I've seen some shocking pictures before of them cracking etc

Nothing at all just fancy something retro and think 19" pegs will be too big

Out of those then the BBS.
Get these instead though (http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?ID=2222), a bit dear but you'll get the Porsche Twist look without the need of expensive adaptors :)

To be honest mate even the bbs reps are, and the real ones are over £1k easy.
Ill keep the comets but will give me time to eventually get them refurbed aswell

comets look really nice refurbed and on your car would look much better in hyper silver, there is a forum member called roger who has a silver v70r who comes round mine sometimes, his wheels were bright silver and looked the tits
