They look good but not for me. They look big enough so again, confirm for me 18s will be fine. If only there was one with the gun metal ones. Not sure if they would look right to be fair.
Current car: Manual MK8 GTI 245, Deep black pearl.
Ordered: DSG MK8 Clubsport, DCC, Pure white.

10/10 for effort mate. You keep finding these pics. Again the look nice but just don’t do it for me. It’s all personal preference like. What are you thinking now you have seen all these photos? I think it going to go for the Adelaides as I think they really suit the car.

I’m toying between black Pretoria 18s and black estoril 18 if they start to make them. My car is white though.

The decider will be whichever one is 8x18 and et45 as they fill the arches better.

I’m also toying with BBS XR in black 18” with BBS being a bit of a homage to the mk1 and 2 gti. They’re not much more but obviously don’t look OEM

Richmonds = 18 x 7.5 ET51

From CM wheels:

Adelaide/Estoril/Clubsport = 18 x 7.5 ET45

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 6mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 6mm more than before.

Pretoria = 18 x 8 ET45

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 0.3mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 12.4mm more than before.

BBS XR = 18 x 8 5x112 ET44

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 0.7mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 13.4mm more than before.
