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

[GTI2708]

Thanks for the tips

Change the finish obvs, but:

RPF1


RP05:


RP03 (multi fitment lets these down):



I'll piss off for a while now

Guys what do you think about Carbon Steel?

Perhaps a bright silver (not chrome) will work best. Black might be too dark also.

This is one example i've found with an anthracite colour.. but is it too washed out?

Black looks hot on white, there is a turbo white MkV R32 on black CH's 19" and it looks epic. Not a problem with blacko n white.

Elisi, the style of rim probably governs the "look good part", though a **** rim is still a **** rim, thoiugh that's subjective.

Don't build the forums' favourite mkv6, you will either likee it or you wont.

[GTI2708]

WOW!
Personally i think those rims on that car look amazing....i would love some rims like that.

This is the look I will be going for however in the Carbon Steel - not black. In fact - I love those exact wheels.

BBS make a wheel like this called an RS-GT (usually a porsche 911 wheel) but they're like $1500 each not including rubber. Too expensive unfortunately.

VMR 710s I believe.
Try golfmkv.com to find some sellers etc

If you're going BBS get them from tire rack in the states, they are much much cheaper that buying them locally (inc. shipping)..

I have some Team Dynamics Racing Light weight wheels on mine gloss black.
You can also get these with the red outer lining around them (I got mine for a bit over a grand landed from the UK (which is about $7-800 cheaper then buying them locally)

[GTI2708]

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

Id hazard a guess at them being a Borbet wheel

[GTI2708]

Over the top? Or Wow...nice!

Definitely will need to be 19s.
Certainly will look neat though. Get them to sit flush with the guards nd a nice drop and it could work

Those prices on Tirerack are awesome.

$390 USD a corner for Anthracite BBS CK!... sweet. I think they're about $800 a corner locally.

And if you get them shipped in sets of 2, you avoid the local duty also I believe.
