I prefer the Parkers over the Austins.

Good job we don't all like the same thing, boring world otherwise.

True story: as my wife approached the new GTI she heard a young boy say in an enthusiastic voice, "Look at those wheels daddy!" He was impressed with the Parker alloys. That is an unbiased opinion!

I think most people like the new alloys. There are just a few people here who seem to enjoy putting them down at every opportunity for some strange reason.

I prefer the Parkers; not a fan of the flush with the tyre look of the Austins.

That's the problem, they look like they were designed by a 2 year old.

It's not putting them down it's stating that someone doesn't like them. Not everyone has to like them!!

The parkers are the worst looking wheel in the performance Golf range. I'd go as far to say that they're the worst in the entire range, barring perhaps the e-Golf wheels.

Thats just my personal opinion, not intending to slate anyone else's choices.
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

My true story..... I was driving recently in my Macan along a road near a beach. Group of young guys walking along the side of the road, one of them shouted to his mates "oh my God its a Ferrari".
It wasn't a Ferrari, it was a Porsche!!

Motto of the story clear lol.

Yeah, but it is the same people repeating the same thing. I guess putting down the new car makes them feel better. It is a bit childish to go on and on about it.

Hmmm, this seems to have become an argument about wheels....

I'll be honest, I really like them, and as the owner of the car I guess that is what matters.

Yep, that is all that really counts. The alloys look really good with Tungsten Silver too.

I doubt if you will ever meet anyone that does not like the 'new GTI alloys.'
There are just a few haters on here.

My cousin has bought a Mk7 Golf R. My mum told him that I had a new Golf too. When he asked which Golf, mum said, "a red one."
