The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Mikey1]

I hate to say this, but I am now in the market for some wheels after my girlfriend scraped my left front wheel on the curb pretty badly as she tried to forward parallel park.

This might be an appropriate time to consider upgrading to after-market wheels, as a genuine replacement Santiago wheel from Volkswagen Spare Parts is going to cost around $1.6K-$1.7K RRP. As a side issue, sharing one's pride and joy with a female partner can lead to unhappy times. Having a manual prevents my wife from showing any interest in my 4-wheel toys.

AUDI R8 V10 REPLICAS

Not the greatest of pics, but at least we finally got a pic sorted for Lemonskin.

Tempe Tyres has R8 reps for $175 per wheel... seems pretty reasonable? Only in 18"+ though. Anyone this these would look good on the GTI? 18x8.0 R8-10 Gunmetal

Doesn't apply to me Mikey, she knows how to drive manual and have fun in one. She drives a Civic type R.

Let's not sweat the details, when are we getting new wheels sorted wasabiz?

I like my Santiago's and they are not that hard to clean with a squirt of wheel cleaner and a wheel brush that fits in the gaps. The wheels on my BMW are way harder to clean

Seems legit, although sounds like you already got some in mind? Although this reduces my fun..

Hahaha, I don't yet. But the G25 is the one that stood out the most so far. I've been looking into ultralegerra too. ahhhhh too much option Dutch. This thread has clouded my judgement skills.

WORK MEISTER S1 3P
Specs: custom







Actually not 100% sure these are three piece Works - the custom finish would be covering the branding - but pretty sure these are their famous design, yum.

Did I hear/read G25? You can ask me about these. You won't get much support from Dutch77, who has a thing about fitting Japanese wheels to Euro cars, though I'm not sure why.
