Jetta TFSI wheels on GTI?

[Mixer]

Anyone seen this? I reckon they might look good on my Black GTI, anybody with a Jetta upgraded to bigger wheels and still got them around?

[anthony]

Funnily enough I was recently in America,and noticed that all the GTI s come with our Jetta Turbo alloys.
They have a sports Jetta called the GLI,and that comes with the same alloys as our GTI.
Strange,but they looked good on those models.

Yep, the US GTIs are fitted with Classixs - same as are fitted also to our GTs.

To be honest, I think the wheels on the GT are much better looking than those that come on the GTI.

My 2 cents...

oi watch what you say

gti rims are too boy racer for me... gt rims are much classier

save you some time

Mischa - you've been 'badged'!

One downside to the Classixs is that they're a bit of a bitch to clean (easier than R32s, though!), the GTIs look like a dream in comparison.

On another point (not wishing to highjack or anything...), can 17s still be OK, or do you need 18s or 19s? Have a look at these (both 17") - I think they look pretty good:

When I look at those BBS ones I feel like going to my fridge and grabbing a block of cheese.

I'm not too fussed about the size, but neither of those rims do it for me.

I think you guys are thinking of the wrong rims, the GT rims come on the non-turbo Jetta from what I have seen, and the TFSI Jetta comes with a rim that is sort of a dual-5 spoke design, in a chrome finish.

If you look here:

You'll see the rims I am talking about...

Also the Vision rims on the accessory page look pretty nice.

Hmm, on the Passat options there's an "Akiros" wheel that might be the one.

nar the rims on my car are the standard jetta tfsi rims. the ones on that page are optional. the rims on my car are the "classixs" rims.

Alright I will have to stand corrected, at least you guys know which rims I am talking about now

[Golfer]

Ahh... I saw a black GTI parked at my work with roof racks and a really nice set of rims. I noticed they were VW stock, but couldn't identify them... Now I know what they were, the ones in that link...

Looked hot IMO...

I have these rims on my Jetta, I think they are called Charleston's. Could be a three way deal somewhere along the line as I'm after the Classix in 17". Can anybody out there help us out?

yes they are 18" Charlestons... have them on my Jetta TSI also.

Mine are the 16". They came as standard on my TDI.
