      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.

            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.

                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

                      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?
