MkV Jetta Wheels and Tyres

[BarneyBoy]

Heres mine, this is the tempe tyre wheel package (18s). Cost me $1400 delivered to my door in Brisbane

Really nice choice and a great deal too!
$175 per wheel and/or tyre.

Thanks guys..

Came with Kumho low profiles, not bad to start with. Once i wear them out will probably replace with Pirelli's.

Only bad part is they are the standard 7.5 wide. At the end of the day i could live with that as by the time i sold my claxxis the change over was very affordable.

Tempe did a great job and they arrived super quick.

Mine are 19x8.5 on 235/35 R19 flaken tyres....just watch your offset with the 19's.

These are as close to a semi slick you can get without the bother of them. Stuckey know their stuff and this will be where I'm placing my money once my newly torqued up car shreds its way through the set I have on now. About $310 per corner, so same ball park as most quality rubber.

anyone else?

Hi all

I have a MKV Jetta TDI and I'm looking to replace the 16" stock rims.
I'm thinking only 17" as I'm always a little worried about changing the ride, weight, rolling diameter etc associated with going to bigger rims.

So far considering:
Fox R5


OR

GTi Detroit replicas


Any opinions about either on a stock Jetta TDI?

Or Any other rims people recommend?

thanks

Yeh those are pretty damn nice.. doubt they come in a 17" though

Do you want OEM wheels or after market?

My jetta's on OEM 18x8 Karthoum's and wrapped in 225/40/R18.

Lowered on H&R 30mm lower springs but in a few weeks will be laying low on FK Konigsport coilovers

Silver Dub - Very nice!
Seems like the only way to go is lowering and putting 18"

But i'm only considering 17"s without lowering.. doubt I will have the same wow factor.

I prefer an OEM look, but can go after market like the FOX R5's which "kinda" look Audi/VW OEMish

why not try and pic up a set of MK5 gti wheels?

There are heaps on ebay, otherwise a few pop up here every now and then

That was one of the ones I thought about..
But the mrs says it only looks good on a hatch and not our Jetta sedan ..

Anyone got these on a Jetta?

The 18 Detroits are nice on the jetta
