GTi Clubsport - 18" wheels > 19" wheels

I doubt it was his money either 

Interesting that he didn't explicitly say how much they cost.

The car looks better just for having bigger alloys but they’re not nice imo.

I usually like/agree with Volkswizard’s choices but I don’t like those wheels. Saying  they’re an improvement over the standard richmonds is very faint praise.

Interestingly it states in the video comments, that the wheels are 8.5” with ET45. He doesn’t mention any figment issues., but does intend to fit the spats once they’re available

If he changes the height all will be forgiven

Agreed. They are a definite improvement but perhaps a little bit on the fussy side. If I was getting Vossen wheels I would get the HF3 in either graphite or gloss black.

Far too busy imo , but an improvement on standards... I prefer the Optional 19" factory ones

HF3’s in Anthracite on a Silver Clubsport would look really good IMHO; better than the HF2’s.

Oh dear Mr Chapple.
I can see the look he was going for with a rose tinted eye on the BBS RA styles fitted to older generation GTIs and VR6s but it failed. Far too fussy and complicated for a 21st Century Golf.
Still, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think he mentioned Vossen were from Florida? Well, anyone who has spent more than a couple of hours in Miami will know all about Floridian automotive “style” 
ETTO as they used to say on car forums.

I don’t get where he’s coming from about “marginal” ride quality on the standard dampers either. It’s a Golf GTI not a 2CV. The Clubsport has fantastic body control and feels well bushed and damped to me considering its power and speed handling capabilities. I’ve driven mine over some shocking surfaces on 19’s with no DCC and find it perfectly acceptable.
