The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[charro]

We have seen these wheels before (on an R) on the thread before, but I don't think on this GTI has been up before. Nice wheel, I really like

That's exactly what the Wolf wants you to think.

I just don't get it.

Why pay more for wheels you don't want? Why not save yourself a few grand and get the R when the only difference is wheels and a couple of badges (and leather as standard if pre-2016)?

I literally saw someone referring to their oil cap as a Wolfsburg oil cap recently...I mean c'mon, each to their own and all that, but 'Wolfsburg' oil cap??

Speaking of wagons - it's Wednesday.

And on topic, swapping 19s for Enkei Fujins in 17s for a road trip:

I wonder if spotters will think you've done a sticker-job on a TSI wagon to make it look Wolfsburg-like. At least the front bar and xenons make it less ambiguous.

Meh, go all stage 3 under the bonnet and really teach them a lesson.

The fake quad pipes are a giveaway at least. I want to fix that somehow... </offtopic>

By 'un-faking' them or going a single pipe exit on both sides?

Should just go a nice big oval tip each side like an RS3. Looks better than the quad tip which is a bit try hard

I've been fairly critical of the RS3 in sportback form, they didn't sit right for me originally although they have grown on me. Something a little less round and more oval aka a larger version of the existing twin pipe shape would work I suspect.

Or return the R to its roots where it should be..

Ah, they didn't bring the R wagon to Aus. Gotcha.

Anywho, apologies for the tangent everyone, back to regular programming...[emoji846]

Hoping not a repost. Saw a video of this car today on youtube, think it is out of South Africa. Wheels are 20inch works.
