Thanks Coreying & Peedman They are a BBS copy paid $360 per rim brand is HRS (Hijoin Racing Series) Black Shadow Chrome finish.

I was going to get them powdercoated Satin Black but wanted to see them on the car first.
I will leave them for now though.

They look fantastic Fab, what are you going to do with your stock rims?

[AdamD]

Awesome. That looks terrific. Good choices I love it.

Cheers mate!

Thanks mate. Probably going to off load them on eBay.

Thanks mate. Probably going to off load them on eBay.

They will sell real quick on ebay, surely the first genuine set of R rims available locally.

Is it just the rims or tyres as well you are selling?

I think they look awesome in that finish mate. Something different than plain black and look great with the white car. I've been looking for ages now for rims for my white TSI and haven't found better looking than this. Will investigate a set of 18 by 8 for the TSI.

Got some new Rims today

I never have been that big a fan of the Stock 17" GTI Denver rims and even less of a fan of the 18" Detroit rims.

As soon as I took delivery of my '10 GTI, I replaced its stock Denver rims with some rims from a S3 Audi. They were OK, but did not really have the look I was after.

My real quest was for some Talladega rims from the Golf R, but I have not been able to find a reasonably priced source for those rims here in the US.

Recently I came across some '10 Audi S4 rim Replicas that are very close to the Talladega rim, and in someways look even better. These are Asian replicas, of excellent quality, and only cost $400 US.

While 18" rims probably have the best visual balance for the Golf/GTI, for the time being I am staying with 17"s because of ride comfort, sidewall height, and the fact that the 17" tires that came with the car still have the majority of their tread left. When it comes time for new tires, I will probably migrate to 18"s.

Here are some pictures of the new rims:

Looks good, very suitable.
I probably would have done them in gunmetal or similar but they work okay in silver.

Almost identical to the Talledega's aren't they.
