My new R36

[Macka]

They probably cost a stupid amount of money.

They were $300 bucks each mate.

Not missing much. The RS4 rims suit the RS4. They look crap on a Passat! The R36 rims come in 19 inches if you want bigger (which actually compromises handling) and actually suit the car.

Everyone welcome to their opinion. The most comments l get on the car are about how good the rims look on it. As far as compromising handling, have you tried them? My backyard is the great ocean road and l can tell you the handling is brilliant and not one bit compromised by the 19's. Have had other great handling cars but this is by far the best.

Yep, nice rims.... Not sure i think they are that much better looking than the standard ones that I would cough up the different. Lets face, the standard rims are fantastic anyway so it really comes down to a personal choice on how much you want to change the look.

exactly apom! Why spend un-necessary dollars when the standard ones look fantastic and perform really well too?

in that they are round?

as to why, well everyone's idea of an unnecessary spend is different, why get the r36 over the v6 highline....??

I personally think they look awesome! ...
Mine arrive this week (19" VMR RS4) and thinking of gunmetal or shadow chrome rather than silver, any thoughts?

In that lower profiles don't perform as well.
