I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm interested to see what alloys people have on their MK6 Golfs, especially those of you whose Golf is Black.
My GTD is Pearlescent Black with the stock "Seattle Shadow" alloys. They're nice, but for that touch of personalisation they're perhaps going to be the first thing I change. (After all, the Re-Map, which will happen when my Warranty expires, is a hidden upgrade...I want something physically obvious that differentiates my GTD from others.)
I've tried a couple of those Wheel Visualiser Apps that are online, but they're a bit naff, and nothing rivals actual photos.
So, all you MK6 owners, show me your alloys. :)
And Happy New Year to you all.
Tim.

At the moment I'm just hunting around to get an idea of what looks nice. I do like the GTI Monzas, though really I'm looking for alloys which are black, because I like the look of colour-coordinated wheels.
I've also always quite liked the look of retro-ish steel-rimmed five-spoke wheels...so perhaps something along these lines;

Thanks Jimble...loads to browse through there. Sadly, here at work, a lot of the images are blocked, but there are some images that give me a good idea...especially;

I do like those alloys, so I might test my Photoshop talents and see if I can make them look black.

bbs LM s , real or replica , nice but have to be on a lowered car or they look small cos there split/dished , well thats my opinion anyway . i ad them on my mk5 and they looked small (http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/geoff1365/ourpics147.jpg)

I see what you mean...what size are they there? I'm not planning to lower mine, and I'm not wanting anything over 18", since it's just not "me".
-
there 18" mate and i think they look lost because of the dish . they didnt last long before they were swapped , even had it lowered a few weeks after that picture and they still looked small
-
That's deceptive then. I like that style, I must admit, but they'd have to be black for me.
-
depends what look your after most on here like there vw wheels were i like different stuff also like rotiforms and 3sdm .

Here's my 19" Glendales on black

booth11 iv said it bfore nd ill sy it gain , thats fookiin stunning
-
Love the look - black and silver :drool:
-
Very nice, Booth. Does confirm to me that black 5-spoke alloys are the way to go for me. Not 19" maybe, and with just a thin silver rim, plus "fatter" spokes I think, (not that I'm picky!). :rolleyes:
-
I need someone who's good with Photoshop...I want to know what this sort of thing would look like on a black GTD/GTI.

^^^^^^^^
Aren't they a bit Edition 38?
-
I don't really know what Edition 38 is! But they're a bit retro and I like that.

My old Mk6 rockin on some 18" Mk5 monza's which were refurbished in satin black ( mk5 ed30 style ). Looked pretty good on CW golf imo.

Nice, I've just seen some black Monza 2s on eBay, and it says they're for a V4 Transporter, but I'm thinking they might fit the Golf too. :cool:

It's a site for the cool kids with tattoos and stance...... which is lowering your car so much the wheels scrape on the arches, your likely to rip your sump off on cats eyes and handling becomes a thing of the past!
:wink:

According to http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Volkswagen/Golf%206%20%282008%20-%202012%29/ they should be ok although a different offset

^^^^^ Oh dear what were they thinking :sick:
-
There's a whole forum full of cars like that.... :grin:
-
^^^ and you also get band fairly easy apparently...there's been a number of newbies who have come over here cause of there ban from ed38...
Enough said!!!
-
Well I won't be following the Edition 38 path!!
I have managed to secure what appear to be some rather nice 18" Monza Shadows, with wheels, for a most reasonable price. Plan is to give them a refurb and slap them on. Just need to decide if I'm going to keep them Silver, or try something a little different. Black might make everything a bit TOO black, so I'm thinking maybe Grey.
Hmmmm...
