Just thought this may be of interest to members, may be a way to get cheaper fuel, I have just registered http://www.pipelinecard.org/

Thanks for that I will get onto it, it's always worth the travel for a decent company, especially if they know your car, cheers for the advice much appreciated

Well I hope this is not too embaressing for me AHEM ( Centre of wheel to Wheel Arch on both front and rear Wheels is 35cm each, this was measured on level ground %-6 I think I may be investing in a lowering kit anytime soon

I thought about putting them on mine, the replica (cheaper) ones are 8x18" and foul the arches, every dealer I phoned told me that. I was told that 7.5x18" will fit the mk3 but I am now being educated that even these are too big. The RS4 rims are far better looking imo

Sadly I must put my hand up to that mate, as I have admitted to having standard ride height in my post about 18" alloys and being a newbie to the VR6 world. If you can tell me (In laymens terms please) how to measure it, I will gladly supply my vehicles current ride height. I must lower mine soon, far too many near misses with 747's !amazed

WoW what a nice motor mate, and thanks for the great advice I shall be giving this project some great thought. I haven't owned a VW for many years now, the last being a Scirocco GTI and a Mk2 Golf GTI back in 1992. I bought my VR6 last year on ebay of all places and it was a one mature lady owner from new and is pretty much mint with a full VAG history, I don't like the alloys though they are alright, I just think that larger alloys would improve the look of the car. I still don't understand how 17's with 40 profile tyres are less likely to rub than 18's with 35 profile tyres, I was always und

Sorry I forgot to ask, what suspension set do you suggest, not too low please thanks

Thanks for your honest replies, very interesting, it is now obvious why 17"s are so popular. Perhaps 17"s with a new suspension setup would be the way forward and a lot easier, I don't have access to many vehicle specialists where I live. Great site and thanks again !lol

Hi, I am a new member to this site, please bear with me if this question has been asked before, I am after your advice please. I have a 1994 Golf VR6 which I have owned almost a year, it is a 3 door model and has standard suspension which I will probably retain. It currently has 16" Volex 5 spoke alloys fitted by the last owner which are nice but do not "float my boat". I have been making some enquiries, and have decided on a set of BK Racing 299's (I know they will not be everyone's own choice, but I like them) According to the chaps I have spoken to at BK Racing, they assure me that 7.5 X 18
