  1. I'm looking at getting the exact wheels and tyre combo but lots of people in NZ are saying it will be a huge mistake. They say the handling will be compromised - such as tramlining, will ruin the wheel bearings and throw the handling out. Is this true? Tundershop said my ET will be 15. How far will the tyres stick out from the arches? I suppose I will definately need to get arches rolled correct?
  2. About to order my wheels from Germany but - in NZ spacers are illegal. Will I need spacers on my car if I get 9 x 16 ET 15/25/32? I hope not.
  3. hey guys can you tell me what these coilovers might be like. If they are a good brand etc or if they are lemons. Ta.

  4. Can you tell me if I will definately need spacers with this combination of wheels?
  5. Ill need arch work even before I do the suspension? Is that because the wheels are so wide? How do you work on the archwork anyway?
  6. but will i need spacers with these wheels if i get coilovers?
  7. Hi guys, I'm importing a set of 16x9 schmidt modernline 1 to New Zealand at the sweet cost of NZ$1400 all up. Naturally I am wanting to lower the car - how low should I go so to look good but still be able to drive over shitty roads and speed bumps etc? Also, should I simply be getting springs and shocks (will I be happy enough with how these perform re: handling, drivability and looks?) or should I fork out for coil overs? One last thing, if I am lowering and perhaps getting coil overs will i need spacers? if so can someone advise me which one's I should be getting. Cheers!
  8. Yeah tunershop are awesome - that where I'm getting me wheels from. What about five spoke OZ wheels? O yeah do the modern line 1's 'look' like the are deep dish even though they are only one piece?
  9. Hmm there seems an obvious trend here. So if I had shown you all just the modern line 1 wheels - would you have liked them and told me "good stuff geeza!"?
  10. ahh you bastards! but they cost the most! why the threes?
  11. Hi peps, I'm more than likely going to get either set of these wheels. Will get them shipped to NZ for a sweet total of 3200NZ - not too shabby huh. I am looking at either modern line 1 of modern line 3. Schmidt Modern Line 1pcs. 4 x 9x16 offset 15 5x100 1 x set of hardware (bolts, etc...) or 2 x 8x16 offset 34 (1,5"lip) 5x100 2 x 9x16 offset 21 (2,5"lip) 5x100 1 x set of hardware (bolts, etc...) Check these links to see which ones you prefer. http://www.german-wheels.com/inhalt/pictures/picture.php?select_picture=293&wheeldesignpieces=Modern-Line_1-tlg http://www.german-wheels.com/inhalt
  12. Hi I tried finding these wheels on ebay but couldnt find anything under the search title: Schmidt modern lines. Any other way to find some of these wheels?
  13. So he has a headlight conversion right. I dont want that - but want the "surrounds" which go around the lights. Which website sells these and what exactly are they called? Cheers
  14. Hey mina - what are those the headlight surroudns? Where did you get them? Are they simply surrounds or a light conversion? I'm trying to find some just the surrounds and need a website to order them from.
  15. So kilokilla - where would you suggest online is the best place for wheels in terms of range and price?
  16. Demon tweeks dont show how much wheels are which is bloody annoying - esp if ya in NZ
  17. thought they might look like trackter tyres on a shopping trolley.
  18. Well they do have them in stock - but a new set of alloys with tyres etc would be anywhere up to 3k for a decent set. Dont you think 18's would look spazza on a golf though?
  19. Yeah the price all up is about 5k. How does that sound to you? The problem is that they are 18's and dont have anything smaller. And thoughts?
  20. Hey golfboy - cheers for that link. check this out - http://www.toptown.co.nz/links/toptown_1_30.php scroll down to racing heart C type 4. I like those. Are they split rim you think? Spoke to the guy and he said they fit on my vr. What do you guys think?
  21. You cheeky bugger! Can't wait for your dirty rugby team to come out here. Convenient most of your "star's" are injured again. Anyway, I have a mate here who imports audi and VW guff and can get me some coil overs for 1500 NZ. I'll find out the brand. Not a bad price though huh? Seriously is it really worth spending that amount on suspension? I could get springs a lot cheaper then save and get some shocks later on. I drove my 306xsi the other day and it reminded me of what a really awesome ride and handling car it is - will coilovers give this sort of ride? Is there anyone you peps know that w
  22. Mm they sure are nice - split rims are traditionally more expensive huh, because they are more than one piece? Why do you prefer them? Simply appearance? Also how much in pounds would those oz wheels be?
