The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[DarkShines]

An interloper from Mk6 land here... After spending Bathurst rolling through this thread for inspiration, I pulled the trigger on these today:



So it will look more like this:



Except in Graphite.



GTC AFF-1s. I'm going with 18x8s for comfort and light track work. If going purely for looks the 19s are a no brainer.

Big thanks to Dutch and the other contributors, I've lurked here for along time and this is one of the best threads I've ever seen.

Glad the thread has been useful.

Agree that 18s are the sweet spot for comfort and performance, 19s for the sharper look. The GTC AFF-1s are (I believe) from the same factory that pumps out the VMR wheels, in this instance a V804 - so quality should be decent.

We've checked out this car before but some new angles here; plus a bonus 'Monaro' in the last pic.

I assume these are Rotiform BLQs, however with alternative center caps and the older design which has a flat finish around the lip, and no indents in the center except for the bolts (the newer BLQs are a slight variation to this). If they're something else then happy for a contribution to the discussion.











I'm also a fan of the added black-out on the front we've seen on a few cars - adds more visual aggression IMO.

Either way they look good!

Thanks xR360, your constructive comments are always valid here.

And how is that wheel search going for yourself? By my estimates (and I could be a day or two out) the search has been going for 1 year, 6 months and 11 days - or 560 days - or 80 weeks - or 13,440 hours - or 806,400 minutes - or 48,340,000 seconds - or 153.42% of a common year. That's what the web tells me anyway.
