Post by: ajmoir36 on 10 June 2014, 21:42: I have to admit I don't really like the look of those wheels. But each to their own.

Post by: Booth11 on 10 June 2014, 21:58: I loath these wheels :sick: probably upset the mk7 guys :whistle:

I'm beginning to really dislike the latest crop of VW diamond cut alloys, they are starting to look cheap and tacky. That's why I'd pick the Pretorias every time.

Post by: charlie on 10 June 2014, 22:42: I don't mind them though for me no reps only the real deal however not wanting to upset any mk7 gti owners I do prefer monzas rather than the new wheels don't even know what they are called :nerd:

^+1. I also dislike them because of their susceptibility to the dreaded whiteworm!

Post by: Snoopy on 10 June 2014, 22:58: There is a dark blue mk7 R parks on the road outside were I work with those wheels on. The mk7 R in dark blue is growing on me as i pass it 4 times a day but I really dont like those wheels at all. The 19" optional ones look much better.

Post by: seabrook132 on 10 June 2014, 23:02: Not really a fan of either of the Mk7 R wheels. Personally I'd be putting some B8 RS4 alloys on it if I had one, imo they'd really suit

A comparison just for you Snoop :wink:
Changes are subtle at first glance but all the differences add up for me

Ive seen one pic on golfmk6.com of them on a Mk6 GTi and they looked good but would suit a Mk7 much more i think

Post by: seabrook132 on 10 June 2014, 23:33: Haha this is going a slightly weird way, a thread about mk7 r wheels for a mk6 turned into which wheels look best on a mk7 r in the mk6 section of the forum lol :)

I'll give it a go Rebecca :cool:
