Fitted my new wheels. 19" 9j Porsche wheels with 15mm adaptors and 225/35/19 tyres.

I need a set of bigger adaptors though..

Its from a mk6 golf GTD. I'm going to look into the badge, but as someone has already mentioned i dont want it to effect the airbag in anyway. If it goes off and the badge comes off or aomething its gonna be stuck in my head.
