The official MKIV appreciation thread

[DUB32]

Hi guys and gals .. i'm new to this forum and just thought i would ask for your opinions.. after owning high end japanese performance cars for years such as an R33 GTR Vspec N1 and 04 Sti and an S15 200sx i have recently aquired a MK 4 Golf R32 which i find to be the most enjoyable car i have driven and owned to date.. i am starting the upgrade process and am still unsure which wheels i want to change to .. i have decided upon 19's but not sure which brand or style .. nothing cheap or chrome (no offence) as i still want to maintain the race appearance..

the two i have in mind are the AXIS Hiro and also the Audi RS6 wheels


cheers

welcome mate, interesting to know that its the most enjoyable car next to that impressive line up of jap hero cars !
are you going to supercharge the R32 ?!

[Lima]

Welcome DUB32 ... you need to speak to Dragan at inMotive and see what a 450bhp R32 is like to drive.

Cheers Liam

i have already ordered a turbo kit from a company called EIP in the USA its good for 320-350 all wheel kilowatts.. i will be making this car one of my larger investments to date

Congrats with the new ride.

Since you will be effectivly replacing high quality rims (and im assuming the RS6 wheels will be replicas, and havent heard too much about the Axis rims)

I would continue the theme and only put on a set of equally high end wheels as replacments.

Something along the lines of BBS,OZ etc etc.....

....Especially with the proposed power output it will have

Nice!

You'll have a target 1/4 mile time of 12.6 to aim for.

You know guys, i've fallen in love with the lines of the Mk3, but some of these cars, along with a hot black GTI that's buzzing around in Tweed Heads, has really got me thinkin'...

Some stunning cars guys, makes me wish i had a mk4...

As well...

Cheers!

and to the mk4 r32 owner, congrats dude! im sure you'll be more then happy, as mentioned you should get in contact with Dragan @ Inmotive (dragan@inmotive.com.au) for things you may need, even maybe a better price on the turbo kit, short shifter etc!

G'day DUB32 the R32 is an awesome car. With a turbo kit good luck if you don't shat yourself if you drive it theres alot of power there.

[BLKMJC]

yes as said above, get some quality wheels... not copies. Esp with the power you'll be running you dont want to take any risks at high speed

i am considering a set of 20 inch Audi A8 RS4 style wheels .. negotiating with private seller but he is looking at around $4500 .. with 275's on them which are a complete waste of time for me ..further more i would either need to re-drill them or fit A3 Audi Hubs to suit the 5x112 PCD ... i have attached a link to site so you get the idea of the wheels im talking about

or alternate option is

but i love the look of the A8 20's .. for show purpose only of course.. i would then purchase a set of semi slicks for my factory 18's

[h100vw]

They look cool, do they only come in 5x112? 275 is some width for tyres too....

I have 225s on my 98 A3 and they are pretty big..
