I knew I couldn’t live with the standard 18” wheels on my GTi so they came off within the first 200km of getting the car last November; winter wheels with AW tyres went on. They have not gone back on and won’t!
At the start of May I ordered a set of VWR RacingLine Cup Edition 18” wheels from the U.K. importer thinking they’d be in stock but have been told that they’re waiting on VWR to get a stock of them. I was told it would be a month so fingers crossed they turn up soon. I’ll stick up some photos when I get them.
Compared to the 18” Pretorias option mentioned by Jim, these will be lighter and should be a lot stronger.
I considered a set of TD rims but it wasn’t clear where to order these from without team dynamics graphics and with the VW standard 57.1mm bore and VW centre cap compatibility.
Neuspeed are another option but more expensive then VWR in the U.K.
