So I’ve decided I’ll go 19’s (sod it) and it’s between the gloss black prets or the satin black reifnitz. I haven’t got dcc so hopefully the ride won’t be too brutal !  I was just about to order the reifnitz then saw the tcr with prets ! 🤔😬 Decisions decisions....

I also got a couple of close-ups to help you decide...

Pretorias are for golf R's and they buckle very easily. Common as muck too  :whistle:
Reifnitz look far better.

That would be my worry with Prets as well although I personally think they really suit the GTI as well.

I think it’s the 19’s reifnitz then ! They are also something different to what I’ve had before...  I’d better get them ordered before they close the borders 😳

19s do look good :smiley: TCR reps (Reifnitz presumably) sound good. I think they are a great looking wheel, nice and chunky.



Not a great picture but hopefully it helps :smiley:

Any chance of a brighter photo to show off the alloys ? Close up or side on if possible against the white please 🙂

I don't think you can go too far wrong either way, they are both good looking wheels. As for Pretorias buckling easily, there is quite a lot of evidence for this but since you are going for reps that isn't such an issue, certainly not as a reason to choose. It's purely down to which you prefer!

Do the cm alloys come with centre caps ? I’m guessing 235/35/19 will fit and any average price tyre suggestions to reduce the cost ? Thanks for all your help !
