Neither am I? At what point did I say that?
Perhaps you need to start reading things properly and also use your brain about things like contact area on the tyre while there is loads of negative camber, logic would say when you floor it in the wet, you will spin the wheels up. But no, you don't seem to read things properly then pick out one little bit going off about how I've boasted that I have a million horspower or s**t tyres.
Also, stop picking at things which you clearly have wrong in the first place trying to get one up on everyone. That's twice in one day already! Facebook and on here. It gets you no where and loses you respect. You know this Jony!
Before you sit there getting worked up about that I have just said, think about what you are going to say rather than button smash the keyboard in anger posting a reply

There you go again, being a complete tit. Like I said, at what point did I say under normal driving conditions I used to spin the wheels up? I didn't. Oh there we go, we established the point it must have been when I floored it. Because generally when you test things, you give it some! Correct? Yes.
HOORAH! We got somewhere!

Not sure, don't think they have a marking on them. I've not checked them to see, so couldn't tell you.

You will be needing the 10.9 though Danny as the 8.8 are likely to snap under the kind of loads applied when going over bumps or cornering hard.

I'll grab some 10.9 or higher then. I only had 8.8's to hand so used them.
But, Ian Howell supplies 8.8's with his lower arms that he supplies from the pictures that I have seen, so if he of all people supplies them, they must be good enough? I'm not arguing, I'm just raising a point

Actually guys, the pinch bolt will be 8.8 hence being zinc plated. It's not under any real force; it just has to hold the weight of the wheel assembly.

Cheers for the comments guys
No, I had my camera tripod with me for them shots. I put the camera on the tripod, manually focused the camera on the car, set a shutter timer and held the tripod above my head. Took a few goes to get the picture I wanted but I got there in the end

I know what you mean Nick! I was having the exact conversation with someone yesterday about spraying the wheels black with some plasti dip stuff to see how it looks.
But it'll make the car look so dark and the white gives it some contrast. I know its insane contrast lol.
I am playing with the idea of different wheels but having no money means I cant do it.
So for now, they will be staying

I'm thinking more Anthracite or Gunmetal, rather than black, similar sort of colour to your front splitter

Yeah it'll look better not being so dark. I'll see about it in the future

Nope. A reverse light isn't a legal requirement

take bulb out so it doesnt show red though!
i agree with nick, but not black, black GTi wheels look cheap and s**t, a nice dark metallic grey would be lovely

I do put a lot of effort into my updates, I mean, I have to take pictures, upload them to photobucket and then copy and paste the links on here. It's a lot of hard work but I am glad it pays off to be better than someones on here. Makes me feel like the whole effort was worth it!
Mine spins up like a Bic™ in the wet at the moment... inner edges of the tyres are smooooooooooooth from before I fitted the camber adjustable lower arms, plus the tracking was out too. S'all good though, it'll have new tyres soon!
