Hi All
Just thought I would share a couple of photos of the lightweight Clubsport wheels on my GTI. I'm really pleased!

They look fantastic!
Where did you manage to find those beauties?
-
Great wheels, and not too bad on the cleaning front either.
-
Love them! : :laugh:
-
I really have to book an appointment with my optician as I can't see any photos.....
In the meantime though, where did you source them from? I see them on ebay occasionally but not for ages, only on some German dealer sites for big money!
-
I can’t see them either? Just a blank white square?
-
Hi, I'm not sure why some are seeing them....... Hosted on Google Photos, which usually works well?
Took a year to find! Set coming up were way out of budget, but in the end found someone with a Clubsport changing to Prets, so a deal was done. Took quite some effort to decontaminate and get sealed with C5 Gtechniq, but really pleased.
Cheers
-
Can't see them either, just a little no entry sign in the middle of big white square. Tried on Google Chrome as well as safari and no luck. Sure they look mint though.
-
I can see the pics on my laptop but not on my phone.
Although they look great, how do they drive? Can you feel the weight saving?
-
I can't see the pics either which is a shame.
It might be an iOS thing as I can't view them on either phone or my geriatric Mac.
I'll borrow my son's laptop later if it has so much as an iota of charge in it (unlikely).
I do know they look better on a standard GTI than a Clubsport though and a definite improvement in several ways on the OEM GTI alloys (weight and looks).
How much are sets of these going for?
Not wishing to be too nosey as to what GE90 paid but generally curious...
-
There's been 2 sets on the facebook Golf R owners page. 1st were virtually brand new and were £650 including the tyres and they took a while to sell, he ebayed them in the end. The 2nd set are still on there for £1,000 including tyres (done more mileage than the 1st set).

Facebook is evil, eBay is more evil.
Plus they're not fetching that much money.
Decision made - I'll keep mine!
-
how could the 18" Belvederes which were introduced for the Clubsport possibly look better on a standard GTI than a Clubsport when basically both cars almost look identically from a side on view. If anything imo the opposite is true considering the Clubsports 15mm lower stance.
-
The Clubsport isn't lower than a GTI.
That was a cock up in the spec sheets.
15mm lower than a base model is the truth.
The tall rear spoiler and bulky bumpers make 18" wheels look really small on the CS.
Plus the offset sits them too far into the arches so they look even smaller against the spoiler and fins.
-
Yup. Clubsport is not lower than a standard GTI.
The R is slightly lower. 5mm lower than GTI/CS if I recall.
Those wheels definitely look better on the standard GTI than the CS. That’s the 2nd GTI I’ve seen them retrofitted to now and I’m impressed. Always thought they looked a bit weedy on the CS.

They do look really good, would be very happy with a set at £650 too!

They look great, and they look a little easier to look after than the Santiago’s I’ve got fitted

I have never seen a set for £650, or under £1000 to be honest! I was checking eBay (inc German version), many forums, Facebook R page etc.
If you can point me in the right direction of any going under £1000 for a set, I'll buy them up myself as a spare set!

As already said the £650 ones are sold, but here is the link to £1,000 ones. You need to be a member of the group to see it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1541477379484574/permalink/1781704748795168/?sale_post_id=1781704748795168

Gutted I missed the £650 set, and amazed that they didn't sell too easy.
The second set are the ones I purchased :wink:
Cheers

Here's the £650 set...

Nice choice GE90 :grin:

Nice! The £650 set sold then? Thanks

Yes I snapped them up a couple of months ago... current wheels needed a refurb and I gave up trying to find a decent set of 19's (Santiago or Pretoria) and gambled on these looking good on mine, which they do :smiley:
