19's tend to come in 8.5" fitment and can rub if you are lowered too much :smiley:

...........18'' look good on the mk5 GTI. I fitted a set of edition 30 alloys on mine & they look great.

Yes the aftermarket CH have the motorsport logo. The pics posted are Pescara wheels which came as standard with Edition 30's they are made by BBS and are pretty much the same as CH infact the number envraved is CH029. I would look into BBS VZ's which are very similar but can be had slightly cheaper or if you want CH go that route but they aren't cheap.

If your unsure contact Phil Walker he is the factory authorised importer in the UK...
