#1: gti vs gti180 Author: V8Sam, Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2015 7:50 am ---- hello..long time no visit..
but time for a new car again..
just wondering if you guys think the 180 is worth the extra over a standard GTi?
anything to look out for between the two for faults etc?
and how easy are they to work on? looking at the bay pictures of the 180, it dosnt look very tool friendly in there.
or, anything else to consider? was looking at an ST170..but cant quite seem to find one that hasnt got intergalactic mileage.

But long story short (IMO) the 180 is the better car.

#4: Re: gti vs gti180 Author: V8Sam, Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2015 10:27 am ---- 15's vs 17's im assuming?
do the 15's not fit onto the 180?
#5: Re: gti vs gti180 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Apr 05, 2015 11:03 am ---- 16" on most 138s
#6: Re: gti vs gti180 Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Apr 05, 2015 11:25 am ---- 17's suited my 180 the best.

Yeah they fit OK very close to the caliper, you can't have balancing weights on the inside of the rim (next to the caliper).

#9: Re: gti vs gti180 Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Mon Apr 06, 2015 5:14 pm ---- 180 all day.

Lightweight wheels much better than 17 .. I can only fit 205 40 17 tyres on my 17 wheels and they rims catch the road they are heavy and have less of a response on acceleration. team dynamics pro race 16 "s are the way forward.
