Title: 18" Alloys: RS6, TT or R32 style?
Post by: fackie on 24 July 2005, 18:01

Looks like these are the most popular 18" replacement for the standard 16" that come with mk4 GTIs.

Can't make up my mind on which ones to get. There are plenty of deals out there, with or without tyres; then there's the real deal, but way too expensive for the average wallet.

Shell out your opinion around here, and please add links if relevant.

Cheers

Are those RS6 style on yours? What about getting R32-style, rather than the real deal?

The RS6 one's look alright, think they quite suit it, my opinion anyway

Isn't the centre a litle too much recessed? What I mean is, aren't they kind of "sunk-in" in the centre? That is the only thing I have against them... Can you take a profile photo from your car please? thx

These photos are fine m8. The wheels look quite cool actually. Are they the real deal or RS6-like wheels?

lolololol

They look great m8. I think I've made up my mind then. 18" RS6 replicas it is. Just need to figure out the rubber for them now.

Any advice?

Mine are 225/40/18,  you can get em for a good price with this size tyre.

Have a shop around for wheel/tyre packages.  I've just changed 2 of mine, but when i got em they had Nankang on em, not a brilliant tyre, but they do the job for the money :wink:
