Which VW Wheels for MKV R32?

[noisuf]

Gday all,

I have a MKV R32 and have been thinking about getting some wheels.

Gone through some heartache passing on some good RS4 and S5 wheels due to offset and only real 19 inch VAG option is Golf R wheels.

Which look do you guys like more? Please vote via poll.

Original Wheels


Silver 19 inch Golf R


Black 19 inch Golf R

Ah crap, just realised I selected public poll and can't find a way to make it anonymous. Hope you all aren't shy!

The Black Golf R wheels look good i think.

I'll add one to the poll option three then. One original and one black so far. Cheers.

I'd get VW Helios or (as played as they are) something from the Mercedes catalogue.

Don't see the point of spending good money on decent wheels (assuming you dont buy replicas) to make it look like a mk6 R etc...

before you decide, can I ask you to consider your brakes.

The R wheels look great, but if your brakes behind them look a bit puny I think it spoils the look of the rims.

At least the original rims will hide the brakes if you think thewy are understated.

(alternatively get some nice big 6 pot brembos as well and make em look extra sexy! LOL)

I may be biased because I have them on my Black mkV GTI, but the silver R wheels look best. For some reason the black on blue doesn't look right to me. I am considering spraying mine black though. I just don't know if the black on black will look **** or not. I will have to photoshop something up to decide I guess.

Mercedes catalogue, now that's an idea! Offset may be a bit too low though?

Are the R32 brakes that much smaller than the R brakes? Brembos would be nice...but my being so anal, would need the rears done too and don't see anywhere near as many rear upgrades as compared to the fronts!?

Yeah, I'm considering them. I soooooooooo wish I could have support S5 wheels as there were a new set for $2000. Centrebore was larger so would have needed rings. But offset was way too low...

How did you score the silver ones!? Are they 19s? Black on blue looks ok but the mrs says they change the whole look of the car and makes it look like a racer...which I don't mind...but it's her car after all......................

Unfortunately mine are 18's. I would've like 19s, but beggers can't be choosers. And it saves on tyres, which I'm not kind to. I was lucky to get them from a new r owner that upgraded their wheels. I don't know if going black on my car would be a mistake.
