Detroits are AWESOME value

$1,200 is the marginal cost over the standard 17" wheels and tyres, so you have to discount the $5,200 estimate you have given for 18"ers by the cost of the 17"ers to determine the true value of Detroits. This statement shouldn't be taken to mean that Detroits are not good value; just that your estimate of their value is overstated.

Flappa, like me, doesn't have enough time to keep his clean, and Candy White will look less dirty then Carbon Steel.

You talking about mine aren't you Beaker? Don't worry I keep it clean and shiny all the time!

Not really. It's not that easy to sell the original 17" GTI wheels. If you can find anyone to buy them as a set, you might get $1000 (from sales I've seen around the forums). So $1200 vs $4200 (to account for the $1000 you may get in the OE sale) is still a huge difference.

Too many pictures of GTIs and not enough of TSIs here!

Looks good next to the TDI that my housemate bought last year...

If I get time I might take some better photos on the weekend.

Have looked and looked and have not had much luck in finding any pics of a pearl black mk6 118 TSI with the sports pack.

Anyone got any?

Saved these pics from Carsales a while back:

Looks awesome with the Euro plates, I am definitely getting these since I am in SA. Also looks like we have the same car on order kman (plus leather for me). A fine choice. Can't wait til I get mine in September!
