Golf MKV from Romania

[tur]

Greetings to all stance lovers. My name is Andrei, i'm 20, from Romania, and very into the vw thing. This is my second car, but my first build, so i am open to any advice and opinions.
I'll try not to be boring, so here it is

The car is a 2003 (first registred in 2004) VW Golf mkv, 1.9 TDI.
I got it as o sort of gift, after i finished high school, and went to college.

This is the car when i bought it:

After raising some money i began the mods. First step was buying a proper set of wheels.
Because OZ Futuras, ZW1's, RS's are very hard to find in Romania, i got some Keskin KT4 8x17 et30 all arround.
Than, with allot of eforts to raise money i continued the mod list(spoilers, paint, tyres, coilovers, stress, work..) untill the car got its present look.
I now run on Raceland coilovers which are not adjusted properly, i want to go a bit lower, despite the really, and i mean REALLY crappy roads we have here.

I have the opportunity to trade my Keskins for RH ZW1 8.5 fronts and 9 rears. I'm not sure about the offsets.
Should i go for it?

absolutly!

Yes go for the trade.

Honestly I don't know how people drive lowered cars in Bucharest. My dad RAISED his Range just so he could drive through the city.

sarcasm or true fact? i drive throught bucharest almost daily and the roads aren't that bad, you should see craiova
nice car, could use smaller tires and a bit more low but it still looks good

[tur]

about the road...generally speaking they are the worst i've seen compairing to other european countries- could easily be compared to the moon's surface.

on-topic: the offsets are 42 on the front and 48 on the rear. i'll need some spacers, some 215/45 on the rear(i run 205/45 front) and it'll be just fine

Painted the front grill and logo and got the zw1's. (crappy cell-phone) Pics:

ZW1s - new look

Just got the wheels. They're hot. Most likely i'll paint the side mirrors case the same color.
Wanted something Tiffany blue like, but couldn't find a proper paint code. So i decided Oriental blue (opel corsa) will do the job just fine.
The result:

They should look much better with your silver paint than the white before.

On a side note .... I so **** my 4x108 bolt pattern when I see all sort of nice wheels in 5x120 or 5x112 )

[tur]

Thanks. Really hope they will. Haven't tried them so far.
I sometimes **** my bolt pattern when i see the choice range of lovely wheels on 5x114.3. Lucky JDM-ists.

You could use wobble bolts and run those "lovely" jdm wheels!
