    They're nice, but everyone goes for that style.

    Don't do it.
    Go the Detroits.

    Great job...
    I am so tempted...

    Thoughts everyone??
    would it be a strange diluting of the brands..?
    Cheers, i've got a nice layered photoshop file set up now where I can change the wheels, roof rails to black/silver, rear window tint, also lower/raise height. It's originally a 118TSI/103TDI so be aware the front bumper is a bit different. i use it for my own dreaming/scheming, if you want some more mock ups let me know what wheels etc because we have the same colour car.

    Btw that image i posted is with some lowering maybe 20-30mm

    I think the Detroits could work.. but as someone said they work better on some shapes than others.

    I have no issue with wheels swapping brands - especially on the VAG platform - although I'd always try and get some Skoda centre caps put on.

    Yes. I agree re the centre caps...
    I wonder if the original ones would fit in Detroits?

    Next time you are passing an RS that is stationery...can you please see if they look the same size as your detroit ones mate?

    I will keep an eye out too...
