The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

I think the details of the wheels get lost because of the colour when seen from far.

Always a problem/risk with black rims, especially one as nice as the HLT. The black rims (and Audi RS calipers) are sexy times, but I would've gone with a titanium finish against the red personally - as Dutch has done in the past.

Agree - there aren't many black wheels I'd run, although the Ultraleggera is one. But not on the S3 - perhaps a Mk8 Golf.

They look awesome. Please do let me know the detail about them. Thanks.

They are starting to grow on me, I'll ask them if they know what the wheels will be priced at. I'll keep you updated. Not sure how they'll look on the limestone grey though.

Vossen VFS6 in, I assume, a 20 inch sizing and custom gold finish:

Not for this colour car, in that colour wheel, IMO

Maybe on a white car, or red at a pinch?

Don't mind it - gold works fairly well with blue, grey, black and occasionally red.

Although it does echo the WRX style a little.

Not my type of finish - those work best in the OEM finish we had locally on the 35th Mk6 - off silver.

A celebration of Wagon Wednesday and a further look at the Vossen VFS6 from earlier today, this time in a more standard silver finish:

In you or me?

Oh, there's definitely one in me somewhere down there, hidden away behind the suit and tie, stocks and bonds, mortgage and kids, and all that other sensible 'grown up' stuff.

I was from the 'other side' in those days - I had one of the first Chev motored SS in black, dark tint, full exhaust and a 'big' (at the time) set of 18 inch ROH Azzuro* wheels which I guess were copies of the OZ Superturismo LMs - even then I was channeling my inner Euro, it just took me another decade or so to bite the bullet on the Mk6 GTI.

*Interestingly when googling them today the style I had still comes up, but officially they are now a half copy of OZ Ultraleggeras and are usually fitted to that ROH Toyota 86 project car that pops up in magazines and shows.

Not quite the fitment I'd aim for in one of my favorite wheels of all time - my idea would look more like this:
