Well, this thread is as much about a thank you to everyone on this forum who has helped me over the past 6 months as anything else.
A special thanks goes out to Christophe (Frenchie). Frenchie your wheel knowledge was completely and utterly invaluable. You really do deserve your title of wheel ..... Also on my thank you list i need to give a shout out to Nath, Ben and Andrew (onepole) who assisted me to find out which wheels would, and would not fit over my brembo bbk. Also thanks list would not be complete without adding John (Illetronik) who put me onto the Brembo's in the first place.
So firstly Christophe.. i now know more about wheels then i ever thought i could possibly know about wheels. In a lot of ways i actually almost ended up having fun looking for wheels in the end as it was such a challenge to find ones that could clear my brakes, but also fit my car. Not to mention ones that you thought you also thought looked ok. Also need to thank you for putting me onto spinning wheel and tyres. Finally i found a place i can trust to not destroy my rims (unlike the guys i used to use..)
Nath, you're the one who put me onto the MTM wheels and also introduced me to Frenchie. As you can see i ended up getting the 19 version of your rims. It kills me yours didnt fit. They were exactly what i wanted (and exactly the price i wanted as well!). If you havent sold them yet let me know i have a few friends with golf's im sure will want to grab a set of mtm's after seeing mine. I'll send them your way.
Ben... i dont think anyone could have had as much dedication to trying to find me rims as you did. It was impressive to say the least. I hope you didnt waste too much of your life on the hunt.
So, for those of you who dont know my story... all in all.. i had an extremely negative experience with a previous forum member who i hope i have the good fortune of never seeing again. I usually avoid badmouthing people, but Khan, if you read this you are a lieing sack of $%# and i hope you rot in hell. Everything you told me was a complete and utter lie. Other than that, have a nice life.
On the brighter side, i am extremely thankful for all the other extremely helpful folk i met in my journeys. Andrew you are a nice guy and im in love with your car. Chatswood classic are trying to order me one as i write this, so i should be hopefully sporting a lovely new white .:R early next year. Dont worry, i'll make sure i make it different enough not to clash with you.
And again Frenchie, thank you for putting up with hundreds of my questions. You really are the star of this story.
Pic's of the rims below. Sporting Brembo 355mm 4 pot brakes, completely rebuilt and functioning flawlessly. Covered by MTM 19" Bimoto titan polished rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
And for those of you interested... the tyres are phenomenal. Even not bedded in, they are quieter and grippier than my Conti SC3's and the dunlop's i had previously. And the brakes. I love them. They do everything i could ever ask from a brake and im happy to have them on my car.
