GTi Clubsport - 18" wheels > 19" wheels

[Kenis]

Looks great... even tempted to change my ordered colour!

Just wondered if anyone who’s fitted aftermarket 19s has gone to an 8.5” rim, and if so have there been any arch issues. Most rims seem to be 8.5” ET45. I’m pretty sure volkswizard has fitted this size? Opens up the choice significantly

Think I may go this route. Have asked for pricing from the dealer and will try and do a deal.
Also thinking about a set of 18” Belvederes as I think they may really suit the car and are nice and light

The OEM 19's are all 8.5J for the Mk8, the offset though I don't know - you could try to look up the data for the Adelaides though?

The OEM 19's are all 8J for the Golf. Offsets IIRC are around ET51, they're listed on the wheels slide from the GTi press pack that was first posted on here around this time last year.

I like the style of the first one, but not the diamond cut finish.

[M6TT F]

I like the first ones too. What brand are they? I’m also looking at a set of 19s. I looked at the Dotz Laguna Seca that you have shown, but in gunmetal. But they’re not really any lighter than the stock VW rims which put me off

[bjbanny]

I like the 3rd one the most unfortunately it’s the most expensive one but the advantage been a direct replacement wheels same size as standard 19” from VW GTI mk8

Weight  10,50 kg
Price €285 each

The DOTZ weighs 11,81 kg which is still lighter than all VW MK8 19 wheels

The first one is the cheapest but weight is too high at 15kg but very cheap
