Rims for my GTI...what do you think?

[GTom]

I really like those black rims with the red outer lining.
What are they called?
Thanks

They are called Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2.
My 18 x 8 weight about 9.0Kgs (obviously smaller wheels weigh less)

The VMRs are also nice!

And these STAY AWAY look way to ricey.

Yeh i actually thought the same thing about five minutes ago.
very ricey
i like the BBS Ck's on the tirerack site...and i'm also lookin at the ones i posted first up....i saw a picture of a mk6 gti with a similar design and the red outter stripe...looks quite nice.

[GTI2708]

PS. Unless you are tracking the car, please go for 19's

Oh Ok...i was told by someone that it will rub if i put 19's. Do you think it will rub or the ride will be too stiff if 19's are fitted?

O.K
I've rounded it down to three rims. Either the BBS Ck in anthracite finish, the BBS CM in anthracite finsh, or the black rims with the red lining i first started with.

I persoanlly like the BBS ones more than the red lining ones....but i can get a fairly good deal on them.
Anyways have a look at them and let me know.

BBS CK Anthracie finish.


BBS CM Anthracie finish.


And the black ones with outer red lining.



and i mean this looks pretty good if you ask me.


Personally i'm thinking the CM's

[fourmo]

ck ftw dude!!!!!

[GTom]

BBS CM. Not many people have them on golfs (not that I've seen anyway) and they look very nice .

But you can't really fault any BBS they all look nice!

YES mate...i was thinkin the exact same thing.
Uniqueness is key!
I think i've made my choice.

Haha Liam's CW on CK's looks hot.
I have only seen CK's on a TR MkV, goes by the name of Hux.

19s will be fine dude, if you plan on droppping it hard on coilovers or bags then you will need to archwork, dial in camber etc, but i dont think that is your plan.

19s with H&R/Neuspeed/Eibach springs will do it just fine

[GTI2708]

Yeh I'm not planning on dropping it. I won't be able to get it into the basement if I do. :-p
I cnt get the cm in 19's unfortunatley. Might end up just going the ck's in 19 cos the 19 seem to fill the wheel arches better.
Oh btw, does the gti come with the komi eibach setup u specified? Or is that something I should add?
Thanks for all the help.

Np...
Here's Hux's car:


Ahhm I believe standard GTI is a Sachs strut/spring assembly??

This guy has done a SHEDLOAD of work RE: suspension on the 1J (I think) platform.

You will find far more of your answers around there than in my little mk3 noggin

With the 18" CK's

[elisiX]

I really like the look of the CK but not necessarily on the MKV/VI. Without some massive brake callipers, they might not look quite right.

CK and CH are awesome.. particularly the CK as on Liam's CW MKV pictured earlier and I think this will suit your CW MKVI perfectly GTI2708.

I think i'd personally prefer a brighter wheel (i.e. not anthracite or black) on the Carbon Steel to provide some nice contrast.

[GTI2708]

Thanks for that elisi X
I've been thinking about it and i like the CK's moreso for my car.
But i have been tossing up b/w those and some enkei's that i have found. The enkei's are marjinly cheaper and have a similar design.
Although black does look very good on white i think i may go anthracite or just a matte silver because i feel like the black is too try hard/japped up for me.

[elisiX]

Black is awesome and i'd be very seriously tempted if my car were white.

With the right drop - it'd be seriously badass. If the rims were BBS, there's nothing try hard about it.

[GTI2708]

this is the enkei's i'm looking at.


or this colour



Can;t afford the BBS unfortunaley.
