My MKVI TDI

[Willo9891]

The 19's are now off the car, Had a set of 17" Golf R Replicas put on today.. Looks different with the smaller wheels but it will be a lot more practical then before. Will take some photos when i get a chance.

Hope you include details where you got them from as well I'm semi-interested in upgrading to 17's

[Willo9891]

I got them from Tempe Tyres in Sydney, $1100 for rims and tyres fitted with the new Kumho tyres.. The whole lot was cheaper then just 4 tyres for the 19's! They are a well made wheels and well worth it, they have detroits in 17's too which were my first pick but of course were out of stock and had no delivery dates!

Thanks, Willo. Apologies for taking so long to get back.

Well yesterday i pulled out the proper camera and my GoPro with fish eye and went and got some photos when i was up Newcastle way with the new wheels.

I really like the 17's and am used to the smaller rims, the ride comfort has returned and its nice and quiet... I'm also returning an impressive 4.5l/100k/m again!







This is the DRL for those that have been asking

I once had someone photoshop the R wheels onto my car and didn't think it looked good, but your 17's definitely work for you... just a shame they're on a diesel

I'm actually somewhat interested in these ones but since I'm not well versed in the need-to-know I'm hanging back, plus for a first time I'd prefer to go local. I'm also thinking I've done enough to this car and should leave things as is for now and see if I upgrade to a Mk7.

Ryan - Thanks, i was a bit worried about the R wheels as well in 17's thinking they'd look silly being 2" smaller then they should be but they do suit and look quite good! (they are a pain in the A** to clean though!)

I did look at the ones you linked but decided not to go that style as they looked a little small in 17".

just a shame they're on a diesel

Now now.. don't make me come down to Melbourne and show you what a diesel can do

IMO these are still the best looks / quality for the money:

GTC Wheels

But they are in quite a different vein to the ones you seem to be looking at.

[Ryan_R]

Yeah, trying to keep the OEM look. Probably won't bother with it on this car.

I've had a couple of PM's asking for a close up of the leather seats to see what the perforation looks like with red coming through instead of the normal black..

Heres a couple of close ups.
