The Official Golf Mk VI Picture Thread

[team_v]

I reckon the Talladegas are the nicest stock rims ever designed for a Golf. When I show my friends who don't what an R is, the first thing they comment is "NICE RIMS!".

There was the Mk1 and 2 golf's that had awesome stock wheels.
Also the Anniversary Mk4 had sick BBS wheels.


The talledegas are an almost direct copy of the current RS6 style wheels.
They will also be a biatch to clean when the brake dust settles on them after a week.

I completely agree, hence why I invested another $1100 for Black 19’s.

A comparative aftermarket wheel (+ rubber) with the same quality, finish and look it just way overpriced in my opinion.

[Mr_Bob]

Yeah, it is a little fussy to clean the talladegas, but i did manage it without too much effort
Maybe 15min to clean all 4 wheels... including the inside of the barrels.

My jumbo sponge is too big to fit between and behind the spokes,
Next time I'll cut it up, which will make it easier.

Use a product like Permanon on your alloys after you wash your car. Then brake dust and road grim won't "stick" to your alloys. Then next time you come to wash it, you can just wash the wheels using a damp rag or something instead of trying to squish a spong between the spokes and around the brakes etc.

Also, rather than using a sponge or rag, you can buy wheel brushes in various shapes and forms. These are also much easier to clean your wheels with.

But yeah, Permanon. Get some
(Use it on your entire car after each wash, not just the wheels. Works on paint and glass. Only takes 5 mins to apply to the entire car after a wash, and then makes the next wash, and drying, much easier).

+1. Fab, you change rims like you change clothes lol

Yeah i know, im a shocker...a wheel whore!!!

Love the Night Blue colour. Its up there with RB. But I like the RB second best.

If I could have got any colour I would have got the RED, but It was not available.. And If I could order again I wish I got United Grey!! (And Recaros)

FAB I reckon the BBS Rims looked sweet.. The painted black rims look more anaemic to me. Did you get the Talle's in Black?

Yeah I loved the United Grey and thats what I have ordered my R in. Mrs loved that colour too. Can't wait!

Will look pretty much the same as this one here but 18" wheels

sounds like a good idea, all the dust came off quite easy, just getting between the spokes to wipe was tricky.
damp rag would probably be enough, i wonder if the rims are waxed during delivery?

I'm planning to visit Dave@reflect effect soon,
so i'll see what he has along these lines... even if they're waxed now, Would be good to have something once it wears off.

Cheers!
