No argument the road wheels look better.

But there is a certain rawness to RPF1 and chunky wheels that mean business.

You know the R with the RS3 engine transplant's wheels aren't for show..



I suspect the 0-60 best of 1.92 is the evidence.

Dutch - any pics of the Audi Flat 5 on a Mk7? I can only find them on Mk6’s - it’s pretty old-school....

I am pretty sure (and of all things) there is a white wagon from way back in this thread running them.

Agree they're old school and perhaps there are less sets running around today.

Does this count lol?

Not the best photochop but cbfed.. you get the idea.



Naturally these are oversized 19-20" versions and the cars been dropped. While lowering will definitely suit them, I think sticking the 18" OEM and some sidewall meat would look better.

Yeah I’m thinking of dropping down to 18’s when it’s time for new tyres, either sticking with 235 width or even going to 245

There’s a set of flat 5’s on eBay that’ll need a refurb, but it’d only get them if they were otherwise straight and no dents or repairs.

Fair call, being OEM/Ronal you know they’re a solid bit of kit, and they do shout old school.

18 x 8.5 ET45 or something else?

[shauno]

Yeah seem to be 18x8.5 ET45, so a good size. Downside is they’re even heavier than my Rotiforms!

[Dutch77]

Is that even possible?
