Yeah, if I'd been able to source a set of OEMs at the right price I would have been happy with this look. As you know though the imported price wasn't really competitive with other branded options. If a set of these become available off an Australian ED35 in good condition down the track I'd definitely consider them if I wanted a change and an OEM finish.

Tempe Tyres has R8 reps for $175 per wheel... seems pretty reasonable? Only in 18"+ though. Anyone this these would look good on the GTI? 18x8.0 R8-10 Gunmetal

18 x 8 ET45 should be fine. The price is fine for reps but who knows the quality and weight (thus why I am not a fan of cheap reps).

Can doctor up a Mk7 pic later, but here's a Polo wearing them with similar sharper lines to the Mk7:



They probably work well with the lines if that design is your thing, they remind me a little of Santiagos from the distance.

Not sure if Guy can chip any additional information or not?

BBS CH BLACK - REVISITED
Specs: 18 x 8.5, ET35, weight 24.7lbs/11.2kg







Another look at BBS CH in black again, this time in an 18 inch fitment on a red GTI with stock suspension. This specification won't be sitting inside the guards, however you can pick this wheel up in an 18 x 8 ET50 which will be fine.

Note: not a legal fitment in Australia

SCHMIDT XS5
Specs: 20 x 8.5 (f), 20 x 9 (r), ETC tbc, weight tbc









A very concave, premium priced option with custom offsets for different vehicles: Dive into the world of Schmidt wheels - german-wheels.com - Schmidt Revolution

ROTIFORM SNA - REVISITED
Specs: 20 x 9 tbc, ET40 tbc, weight tbc
Other: RideAir V3 suspension, 3M phosphor vinyl wrap, Mk6 R front bar











Yes a second revisit in a day, but given the 'Golf 7 Light Tron' was probably the best show Golf going around when the Mk7 came out its worth a look. Plus the SNA wheels just look great on the Golf. The cast versions are fairly cheap, but if you're going forged prepare for a big spend: •|• Rotiform Wheels •|• I don't care, I might just look at these one day. Plus I think it's cool an airbagged car belongs to Hansjurgen Windpassinger, and glows in the dark. Is their an ADR for this locally?
