Which VW Wheels for MKV R32?

[Noodles]

I'll give you another 19'' option BBS CH ...



Although if as poll ask go for black R, don't have to clean the brake dust weekly on them

Why be on an enthusiast forum and spend all that money on a CH and make it look like plenty of other modified mkv's on the internet. Half of **** all concavity on them (look at audi and BMW fitment, particularly the wide ones and thats where CH's look magic)
Not saying you are going to be totally unique, but there is a lot better wheel choices out there.
Hence I would go the Helios, not really done in Australia.

Offset on Merc wheels varies depending on which wheel, they usually have good width. Like always, throw the old and new specs into an offset calculator (google) and see how they will fit. Remember that lowering adds camber and will pull hem in more, as well as having more suited suspension for a lowered car.

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.

The 18s still look very nice.

Yep, the brakes are definitely very dusty and black wheels would hide them. I would so love to get som Advans but they are too pricey.

Yep, loving the offset calculators.

don't forget to lower it a bit, no point getting nice wheels if you can see three feet of wheel gap

Well that's your personnel opinion, and yes might be a few seen on the internet but how many seen in Aust? I'm yet to come across any golf with BBS CH at any the VW meets in West Aust, or be that pass any other makes on the street with them.
Hence my decision to go with BBS (and black as sick of weekly break dust cleaning), and for the golf I think the CH is best BBS option, unless looking at the 3 peice race rims.

My other .:R is running on ATS Taurus and they were probably half the cost of the BBS and I reckon look pretty smart on Mk4 or Mk5.

Personnelly I think BBS look nicer than 19" OEM Phaeton Helios, though I will say Helios does look nice on MkV and probably one the better choices could buy from VW, although I think they are more expensive than CH's.

As for spend all that money, the BBS actually weren't that expensive I got rims wrapped with Yokahama Advan cheaper than buying just rims in Aust from tyre place I know in Europe that was even with paying the shipping and customs duty of $604

If had the money I wouldn't mind some Enkei RS05

Subscribed. Considering a rim change myself when the current rubber gives out. Will most likely stick with 18"s, but wouldn't mind something a little lighter.

Any links to UK or US sites with good deals on rims would be much appreciated.

Nevermind, have ordered some 18" GTC GT-CX rims. Very similar style to the below, which are VMR 710's I think, and those are 19"s.
