Title: Anyone put a set of Mk5 R32 alloys on their Mk6 GTI
Post by: MAW73 on 17 May 2011, 11:40
Tempted to buy a genuine used set of Mk5 R32 I've seen alloys for the GTI. Anyone done this or got pictures of these wheels on a Mk6?
(MK5 R32 18" ALLOYS. 7.5J X 18". ET51 VW PART NO: VW 1K0 601 025 AD)

I fancy a little project and thought they might look good on the car refurbed in anthracite or gloss black?

Opinions please..... ya or na?

Thanks guys ( and girls )   :smiley:

Neil, what's the yellow car in your garage with the black bonnet.... looks like some sort of Jap track car?

+1 an Anthracite / gun metal finish would be the way to go with the R32's wheels on the mk6. I really like the style of the wheels ( although I bet there F*ckers to clean )  :smiley:

On that I agree 100% the Pro Race 1.2's are superb on the MK6, second only to BBS CH.

CH's all the way in comparison to the R32's wheels in all fairness. Glad to see your sons seen the light and gone vw as well. Did you threaten to throw him out for owning a Pug?  The cars look great together on the drive and at least you can show him who's still the daddy with the Mk6   :evil:

R32s are just the winter wheels,
Took the 19" Vwrs off and fitted KW3s so gone back down to 18" CHs so i didnt get any issues with rubbing
Still the Daddy with the mk6 :smiley:             even if he has fitted 9.5" wide alloys now with stretch tyres  :grin:

If I wasn't paying out near enough £22k in stamp duty, estate agent and solicitors bloody fees etc next month to move house I'd take them off  :sick:

Just buy Neil's wheels Asker, you know you want them and have ACC to cushion the non existant harder ride  :kiss:

Andy, you've done nothing naughty or untoward.  :kiss:
I am sticking with my stone age chariot look Monza Shadows for the moment.
Nearly kerbed the buggers just now, but the Bridgestone rim protection worked a treat.
If or when I kerb them, I'll buy new wheels as I cannot abide with the hassle of getting them  fixed.
You will be my first port of call for advice on this.  :cool:

I feel released from my 'safe-sex' driving techniques and can now indulge in some really exciting hardcore kerbside action. This relief is very welcome. Once they have suffered unprotected and protracted rim damage, I will off-load them your way. They will be as cheap as a whore in Kings Cross on Christmas day. Hope you find this satisfactory.  :grin:
