VXRNuTTA

They are Slot-Mags mate. 15x7J ET25 rear and ET35 front :)
Got some 20mm spacers for the rear too now to get more stance lol

Southie

08-03-13, 08:23 PM

What are slot mags off though, yes I'm older an no idea what they came off in the first place lol

VXRNuTTA

08-03-13, 08:27 PM

They're a New-Era of Slot mags mate, Made by Wolfrace.
They're copies of the original slot mags, maybe Mustangs and stuff like that :)

Southie

08-03-13, 08:29 PM

Ah so are they a VW offset then?

VXRNuTTA

08-03-13, 08:32 PM

Yeah they are a VW fitment mate i think because the centre bore of the wheels match VW Golfs and stuff, i needed a hub ring to get them on perfect :')
Offsets are perfect for "Stance" though lol

Looks ace that dose mate, really like it, thought you were a midlands member, I'm sure it's you who had a black mk2 who bought a bumper from me ages ago?
Tempted to just get my loon on the road as natural aspirated just for the show season then turbo it over winter..
Feeling left out :-(

Not me mate nope, im a West Midlander lol :) i only use her April to October really, she's off the road for the whole winter :)
I want to buy a Hatch with an XE in it, dont want to do anything else to this, its too original to ruin it. I've only done minor stuff really, lowered on nice wheels and a stereo :)

VXRNuTTA

12-03-13, 12:10 AM
