Hey guys, thoughts on the King Hostile 18x8's. Would they fit/look good on a Mk7 GTI in CSG?

The design will - they're a slightly different take on the Vossen CV3s covered regularly on here. What I would question is what the real life finish on these wheels are against the CSG. If you can put one up against the car and be happy then no problems, otherwise I'd lean towards silver.

What is the offset and background on these wheels?

If the budget can stretch this design also resides in the TSW range which can be bought locally at many places, although they will jump up in price a little (but less than Vossens in any case).

Dutch, here are your own wheels, now 19", after a digital install on Josh's beautiful R... This is one of the few combinations I'm considering and thought I'd just share the eye candy. Apologies for the red brakes...

Nice work there Jim, you'd be hard pressed to spot that as an edit.

This pic establishes two things - these great wheels look sweet on black as well, and no apologies needed for the red brakes as I reckon they work well. I know it's not an R thing, but there's a reason a lot of BBKs are still finished in red and it offsets black nicely.

Great wheel but looks lost to me in black. If you're going to spend $6k plus AUD to run a wheel like this I'd want to see it..

Note these are a winter set up, and must be running spacers to look like that but these would also make a great track set up.

Another winter setup that would double as a track setup, the Enkei Fujin in 17 x 7.5, ET45; also available in 18 x 8, ET45:
