    Just found these amazing wheels for the 6 GTI, need some advice though!

    I have ordered RS6 reps but these are 19x8.5 with an option of either 45 of 35 (also available in plain silver or gunmetal). My calcs say ET45 will have 7mm less clearance on the inside than standard (and 19mm more on the outer), will they still be alright to run without hitting anything?



    Cheers in advance,
    Rhys

    Nice looking wheels but hell hard to get clean when the brake dust gets on them.

    Hopefully you can pull them off.
    What colour GTI and wheels?

    Rhys,
    Are these Raderwerks wheels? Sent from the company in the US? They are possibly the only ones in Oz!

    Please put up some pics of your pickup of the car. Should be a memorable day.
    Can you also post some pics of these wheels on light and dark coloured cars? I have never seen them before!

    I dont like them too much. They might look great on though. I sort of got reminded of ford fairlaine for some reason.. But I could be dead wrong and they look awesome on.

    Same as what I thought of these BBS rims I saw in a photo, I thought yuk, but then they looked mad on. Once I see the offset and stance I will make my mind up.

    Here's a few pics on a few golfs. I know the second is a mk4 but gives you an idea on a hatch. I prefer the machined face too!

    For those who may not know, they are Lambo Gallardo LP560-4 replica wheels. For those who definitely don't know, I just bought a set
