I'm tempted by the 19"  458 style "Turbo" alloys in the link with grey inners. What do you think?

What do you think?

I saw a Porsche Turbo the other day and was strangely drawn to the wheels. Along with the R8 wheels they are the only ones I've found that i really like. See the link below:-

Hurdy.... Please dont do that.

I think that the Cayman S Rims look extremely sexy on a Gti. (I have pics I can post up on a white GTi) but the other Porsche Rims look  :sick:

I've said Buy, Buy, Buy.

Though I do think the 459's look more dramatic, though it could just be a better photo.

I've just looked at the price  :cry: Though with the amount of money you spend on CF I'm guessing cost doesn't feature high on your factor list  :grin:

OH!! i know the ones you want, my Dad had them on his turbo and took them off after 2 weeks as he didnt like them, he replaced them with some 20" black split rims with a 4" deep chrome dish on the back  :cool:

Just a thought but these will be 5x130 PCD and the Golf is a 5x112 PCD.  The Centre bore is also different as i would assume these are direct bore at 71.6.  You need to find a locating ring down to 57.1.

But as you have a money tree i suspect a set of Porsche hubs and on the shopping list  :drool:

Joe. The rims you posted look terrible on a silver GTi let alone any other GTi.

Just my opinion. But the Cayman S Rims look  :evil: :drool:
