I had my new rims fitted late last week (18" Omanyts from the MkV R32), and took some photos over the weekend. Seeing as I haven't posted photos in this thread for a while, I figured it's about time.
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.
