Wheels for Jetta TFSI

[Boon]

Have to change my tyres on my jetta tfsi pretty soon and seeing there is some gutter rash form the previous owner, am contemplating changing to a new set of wheels and tyres. The classix look good with standard height but was wondering if there were any other wheels out there that look good without needing to lower the car (17/1. Like 18s but I think they only look good with lowering but I'll have to change my shocks soon so may go that way. Also anybody knows where to get replica rims in brisbane?

I still think Jetta's best OEM wheel is the Charleston, followed by the Vision.
There are plenty of options, limited only by your taste or budget.

Some Merc wheels can look good but are often using an offset too extreme for Jetta unless you don't mind a bit of rubbing.

I am running 18" but before that, 17" BBS but it's just a matter of finding what you like and what you want to buy.

Wow the vision rims are nice as are the charleston. Anybody got them for sale let me know

The more spokes, the better. I find that's the general rule on bigger cars.

I have 18x8 with a +50 offset and 225/40/18 tires, it's nice fitment for practical use.

Or you could go 19's

Then you'd likely want to lower it a bit more than if it were on 19s - to prevent it looking like a truck running 24" wheels!

The OEM VW/Audi wheels are listed on an extensive database list at myturbodiesel.com. With pics and lots of info like offset, which is worth a look.

Yea i think the 18's and 19's look awesome with coilovers overwise stick to 17s. Where do you guys go for wheels in brisbane?

Sydney... Haha.

Jax is the usual answer, they have a large range and normally some that suit our 5x112 PCD. Many wheel shops don't have anything in stock for our cars.

Anybody think that the current goodyear 4 for the price of 3 sale is good?

TFSI is already lowered.

Charlestons FTW.

Sweet looking rims!

Charlestons FTW.

Best combo, Dion! It's always a pleasure to see such a Jetta. Hopefully you have xenons too.

No Xenons, just standard. I don't do much night driving in the Jetta anyway.

[Boon]

Who can point me in the direction of something similar to the classix but in 18'?

[Bizi]

Boon, what you seem to be looking for is some kind of BBS 18" wheel, since there are several designs from BBS with a similar look to the Classixs.
Maca has the black Jett TFSI with BBS 18s so that's a starting point - then head over to the TireRack.com site to try on some other BBS wheels onto their Jetta image.

Check out the Enkei Racing wheels while you're at it. They are very light and very good!
