2009 MkV R32 Wheels on GTi MkVI

**Browny** · 20-07-2010, 04:55 PM

Hi all

I have been searching high and low for some photos of a new Mk6 GTI with 2009 spec R32 wheels on it... The reason I ask this is that I am having the dealer replace the 18' Detroits for these when the car gets delivered.

So I was wondering whether anyone else has done this.

Cheers

I haven't seen one sorry, but I did a quick and dirty in PS (hope these are the 2009 wheels)

Thanks for the reply Nath, much appreciated. These are the wheels.

I hope that picture works! FYI, I have order a Reflex Silver 5d Gti. I am hoping they look alright, but I am pretty sure they will look better than those awful Detroits!

yeah I like the Detroits too, but personal taste is exactly that

Best image I could find of a silver Mk6 GTI in a few minutes

To be honest, I really like the rims that come on the GTD. Those are sharp. I wish we had the choice of that rim on the GTI. Looks a real pain to clean though, which is one reason why I love the Detroits so much...I can clean them with ease....and yes, I know corey, I`m straying off post topic...sorry!

Thanks so much for that! Well I think it looks great, but as you said, it is all personal preference

Now I can look at this for the next 4.5 months until it gets delivered!

For the record, I also like the wheels on the GTD, but they only come in 17"

I've got photos of my 2010 GTI with the older multi spoke OEM R32 wheels fitted. I think the older style R32 wheels look a lot nicer than the 2009 series. Anyhow I ended up switching back to the 18' Detroits. The wheels shown are FS if you are interested. They are genuine and in immaculate condition.
