Opinion on wheels.

[audi-tone]

Hey fellas, looking for some wheels for my gti, found these: Enkei High Quality Wheels - Racing Series : RS05

tried finding some pics of em on a mk4 but just cant.. anyone wanna photoshop them onto a black mk4 golf?
also opinions? too jap?

cheers

[dylan8]

they'd look alright!!
most vws can pull off jap wheels. pretty sure thats a vdub in the pic on there page?

so you'd get 18x8et35 id imagine? should look similar to the oem r32 wheel and will sit very similar

Mmm to spokey for a mk4 I reckon, also will make your brakes look freakin tiny!(if you have stock brakes)

[audi-tone]

yeh. i'm in two minds about them.. i really like them and yes they are 18x8 et35.. ive got 6 spoke audi tt rims (7.5" et32 so theyd sit pretty similar - offset calculator says it'll extend 3mm more.

They look like the R32 wheels to my eyes (as per dylan8 ).

Would the 17x7 et48 fit? Cheaper, lighter, better ride and probably better performance (except on a skidpan)

They look really similar ot the Aristo's, i would get them, i love my enkei's

might JUST fit on coilovers... but wouldnt look any good and be a downgrade as stock mk4 wheels are 7et38 (even though the stock wheels weigh heaps!)

any reason your looking at these wheels audi-tone?
if just for a change, im liking the wheels kenbot got, and you can get them in staggered 18x8/9 et30 all round which works perfectly on a lowered mk4.

First off I was looking for ch reps from the uk. Then someone else bought them. Didn't wanna copy.
Then looked at lm reps 19x8.5 et30 on eBay but the seller won't get back to me.
Then thought rs4 in 19x8 - to overdone imo
Then went to look at tire rack for rpf1 18x8 came in at about 1700 plus tax which is ok still thinking about them.
Then these which are in aus brand new. Good price. Decent offset.
It's hard when aus doesn't have much choice and I'm not keen on running staggered or adapters as its not so legal with insurance and all..

Pretty much made up my mind on these; this pic (on a mkv albiet) has pretty made up my mind



*may* run some spacers 5mm front 10/15mm back to really get it sitting nicely.

staggered isnt illegal...
i think they will look the goods. only thing is you want them to be legal but your getting spacers...?
