      Wow These look very Schmick!

      Really considering getting these done to my wheels, and very reasonable price.

      Although I dont know how I would get around if I get these done as I dont have an extra set of tyres lying around

          Actually the wheels he's got are Denvers not Detroits. Detroits are 18" instead of the Denver 17's and they come standard with the black sections and feature a machined face. I think they were quite an expensive option on the Mk6's.

            Each to their own. The world would be very boring if we all liked the same things. They are just soooo easy to clean though
            I think you may be right Poyta. The Detroits are also called by various names - Huffs in the States for example.

                I thought I'd share these pics with you all. I should be picking up the new Mk6 Golf 118TSI in the next 10 days or so and have been busy behind the scenes getting the wheels ready to swap over.

                I bought a set of genuine 17" Detroit GTi rims off ebay and have had them refurbished and painted with a gloss black shadow to the back and spokes. The refurb came out really well I think, I won't mention who did them here in case its against forum rules but if anyone wants to know more them PM me.

                Whadya reckon?






                Any pics of these rims fitted yet? I'd love to see how they look! I did a search and couldn't see any yet... so apologise if i missed them

                  just a thought.. i recon these would look awesome with redwall tyres.
                  the red line would make the rims look bigger, and tie in with the LED Tails...
