Just posting to give an idea where the fenders are and how these wheels look.

Only a couple members have shown their 140s. If you've got them, share away.

I'm on vwr springs with konis. No spacers. Offset is +45mm.





















Family shot (on old austins with dws06):

Great looking wheels, with a perfect stance. Nice and clean. Really like the Euro tails too. Well done.

Wheel offset?

(Resized the pics. sorry if I gave anyone a fit over them. I had posted on my 1440p monitors and it looked fine.)

Nope, no rubbing yet. Only a few miles on it so far though. No screw removal yet either.

On the austins, I had 15mm rear and 10mm front spacers. From the looks of it, I am pretty close to the same fender distance now.

The other rubbing factor is the back seat is only ever occupied by my 2 year old in her carseat. If the car is full, it's me my wife and the little one, with very little cargo.

Looks really nice but damn I am getting an uncanny valley feeling looking at your car since I have a pure white euro mk7.5 gti with black wheels. :D

Compared to the dws06, there's a ton more lip extending beyond the rim. I hope it helps prevent a little curb rash. I park in a parking garage, at work, and the onramp in is narrow and curvy. I've kissed my Austins a few times there.

Tires feel great on the road a few miles later.

Plastic rings supplied by tire rack are solid to 80mph and a bit beyond. No vibrations.
