Dubbers dilema - opinions please

[Buller_Scott]

Sorry Chipped going to hijack your thread a bit and ask everyones opinion on these for a black pogo GTI

17"x 7" ET38



or these

17"x 7.5" ET35

i like the look of the top ones. the bottom ones look good too, but i think they would look more suited on a coupe e.g. rx-8 or mazda mx-5 or vw eos, something like that.

[Chipped]

wow yeah they are both really nice? Available?

[RhysQ]

i like the second ones mate, but maybe thats just because my rims follow the similar gloss black internals/machined alloy face look.

From TM Tuning, far as I know they are available, should actually email them and make sure they ship wheels to Aus just assuming at the moment.

Was actually leaning towards those actually I think they'll look mean as where the top look more like race wheels.

Still want these the most:


but I don't know if they are worth $1505 delivered(no tires) from South Africa

trying to work something out with my brother-inlaws family (south africans) to see if I can get a set sent over cheaper, the AEZs are my backup plan

While I'm at it anyone running stretched tires on their Pogo?

Whubbsie...the best wheel, I want to put the 17 x 7" in place of my existing Polo Gti wheels 16 x 6.5", so you want a similar looking Gti wheels or exact the same??
I have sent an e-mail to TM Tunuing to see what their ship to Oz policy is re the AEZ wheels. let you know, they are quite tasty.

[RhysQ]

yeah i really like those GTI replica rims as well. i like the fact that they have a machined face to them, much better than the OEM rims IMO. if you are gonna get a set of those, you have to paint the internals gloss black so they look like the Golf GTI W12 650 rims...mmmm

I would keep the standard wheels if they were 17s, I like the look thats why I like the replicas but against popular opinion if I can't get the replicas I'm going for the black AEZs but they are 7.5" wide so might need spacer or shoe them with stretched tyres.

Exactly what i was planning to do and maybe a red pinstrip
