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

I'm not sure 5mm will make a great deal of difference to the brakes (ET40 vs ET45) so I'd say you would be fine? I don't think they would offer you that option if it was going to be a problem. That will push the face of the rim out more, so make sure oyu are comfortable with that.

Also to be aware you may rub on a 235/35 tyre, even at standard height because the standard suspension isnt as firm as coilovers etc....so in some cases lowering on coilovers is better

No I fully understand offsets. What I'm saying is they're machining the backplate of a 35 offset down 5mm to make it 40mm, meaning the spokes will be 5mm closer to the brakes than standard. Might not sound like much but I had to use 5mm spacers on my Polo to clear the brakes. Don't want that same problem.

As for tyres, I'm opting for 225/35 R19's. I've been advised they will fit of 8.5's OK.

These are the other Rotiforms, MIA's. ET45 19x8.5. Dad opted for the 235/35 rubber to meet load rating requirements, it doenst get driven much so has only scrubbed once.

They didn't blw up much bigger to give the details 2 seconds mate....

It's unfortunately not really a good measure as that appears to be the rear wheel he's putting his hand through, when it's the front brakes that are the only worry. Also, the spokes are very different and could have more brakes clearance than the ones I'm getting. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and stick with the 35's. I can always get them machined here.

The top photo is the rear wheels, the photo with the fingers through it is the front

I just found this photo of a silver mk6 with rotiform blq's on. There is no larger photo but it gives me some sort of idea how they will look.

[schoona]

Hot!? :d ...

[WABIT]

you should have contacted me!! i have a friend overseas who is a rotiform dealer

[RhysQ]

So after all my deliberation on the Lambo reps, I've left them behind and I've just paid for these in exactly the same specs!

VMR V710's in 5x112, 19x8.5, ET45, 57.1 centrebore. Bonus thing is VW centre caps can be swapped straight over

Great choice.

Very similar design to OEM Mk4 wheels.
But much better looking

Congrat's on the V710's they are great.
Was going to get them for my tig but they couldn't get their act together and kept giving missleading info on what was available so i caved and got omanyt rep's.


Are you going for hyper silver?

[WABIT]

MAKE SURE YOU ASK WHAT TYRE COMBO THEY ARE ON THAT 6!!! you dont want to go lashing out on tyres that might not fit!!!!

Dom I've done a bit of research and people have fitted them with kuhmo ku31's in 225/35/19 with no probs. They are the tyres I have bought. They won't be as stretched looking as that as the ku31's have more of a square sidewall (wider tyre track) but I don't really want to go 215's because I'm getting the car chipped soon, need as much rubber on the black stuff as possible .

team_v I got an e-mail from the company saying last set of silver wheels are bent so I agreed to gunmetal. I wasn't really phased at the colour, both will look good with silver. Just didn't want black.
