Which Aftermarkets for GTI

[Big Yellow]

I'd put a guess that they're actually larger than 20" - considering that Harding Performance put plenty of 19" Oettinger wheels in their cars, we're know they're definitely not 19's - but they look like they take up considerably more of the wheel arch than a 20" would take. I'd say they're maybe 21" or 22"

they're not 22". the cars are slammed on air. hence no wheel gap and full arches. 22" wouldnt even fit in there when slammed. and they are OEM Merc wheels. Which Mercs back in the 90s came with 20+" wheels??

PS. they are not chrome, they are polished!!

There is way too much wheel gap on the sides compares to the top, which is why it looks crap..

[WABIT]

HAHAHAH maverik and g-rig i dont even know why you bother with vw's, and putting your opinions in threads when all you guys say that standard stuff is good and everything elce looks like chrome 20's

the man needs wheels! we are trying to give him something other than RS4 reps like every other mk5 or 6 bloke who decides he want to put wheels, because lets face it, i bet 99% of mk4-5-6 owners who want to change wheels.... ALWAYS CONSIDER! audi rs4 reps!

we are simply giving ideas outside the box, and what? your trying to say mercedes uses chrome 20's on there standard cars? because all those wheels come on stock merc's? now i bet im gonna read some smartass say something stupid about how merc's roll on 20's or something stupid about airbags or something.....

u want wheels dude? go these....

my god!, go back to the knitting and stitching forum mate.......
im going outside to work on my car....... this thread sucks......

You know it's true, if they filled the guards the same gap all the way around I wouldn't care how low it is, just looks cheap like a dumped Honda civic. It's like a lot of young blokes with old A4s and 3series BMW on cheap wheels and think as low as possible = better handling.

Not knocking aftermarket wheels as I got some but would recommend more tasteful wheels like BBS, OZ Racing, Work, Volk & Enkei with a nice drop.

not disagreeing with you greg.

i too like the wheels you mentioned, especially your oz ultras!! saw chungas blue r32 with the black ultras on friday night and they look great!

but i think, the merc/bentley/lambo wheels are pretty cool too for a show type wheel, espeically here where no one has done it. definately stand out more from the usual crowd. i think thats where we are getting at, and understand its not for everyone.

getting a bit over the top here now LOL

[G-rig]

I agree Terence, and the lambo wheels look awesome on the MK5 R32 like the guy did who has the 997.

Merc wheels just look like you're trying too hard but don't mind some of them.

[mikinoz]

Can you all just accept that there is no correct styling for a car, and each person will choose something different...

No winners or losers, just different choices.

Lame.

There are not that many RS4 reps out there on cars so clearly not everyone considers them.

He made it clear what he wanted if you bothered to read his requirements.

If I'm not mistaken airbags are illegal on golfs (at least the mark v's) in every state and reduce the handling. But I guess in the world of rice all that matters is the car looks tacky.

u want wheels dude? go these....

Wow really tacky wheels!

Lame.

Lamer.

Obviously you must be short sighted or something? There are heaps of mk5 with rs4 reps. Think about something different for a change or that may be too hard for some mk5 folk!

Where does it say that your car will look tacky or rice with bags? Too top it off you guys go off your heads for cars that are lowered. Don't forget you find a mk5 in the US that isn't lowered. The picture is there for reference of the wheel not the ride height gonzo!
