I'm looking at buying a set of team dynamics imolas in 19". Will these fit my mk6 ok with no issues? With my car being standard, ie not lowered etc will 19" alloys make my golf look like a 4x4?
Anyone have these wheels on there golf, preferably in graphite that could post a pic.
-
I don't have those wheels but do have 19's. My car isn't lowered either and tbh I wish it was, as I think 19's do make it look too high. I can live with it and I I love the wheels and but the height is the one thing I don't like about my car. Also the ride is harsher on 19s and this is emphasised if the roads are crap but it doesn't bother me and the ACC offsets it a bit.
Would you consider lowering it?
-
I would lower it, yeah. I guess I always have the option of going for 18" which still is an improvement on my 17" standard monzas. Plus the 18" is cheaper than the 19" so that's another positive.
Cheers for the reply.
-
Don't forget as well as better ride and handling, 18s cheaper on tyres too. My contisport 5p's set me back £166-£180 a corner. Had to have 2 new this year £332 fitted....ouch.
-
19's are fine just watch the widths 8.5 would be perfect my tyrs were £133 each not budgets dunlop spott maxx great tyre

I have ordered my new alloys. In the end I went for these as I like the concave aspect.

Got them fitted with maxxis tyres. Think they will look great on my tornado red golf. The red calipers will look nice behind the matt graphite too. I had matt black wheels on my ST. I like the matt wheels on a glossy car it gives great contrast.

:cool:
What size did you go for in the end? What colour is your car? Post some pics when they're on.

Gd choice. These look great. Lowering will improve the look imo.

They look great and will look awesome on the car, which size did you go for? I like a bit of concave aspect on wheels too although at the min I keep getting obsessed with the Watkins Glen Ed35 wheels only to talk myself out of it when I see the price lol :laugh:

Went for 18" in the end. Looked at images of the wheels on cars and they do look good. Was gunna go for team dynamics imolas but these being the same design with a better middle and concaved swayed it for me. Concaved wheels have a unique stance for me.

Look forward to the pics :)
I look forward to the wheels!
In the doghouse over them with the wife, promised not to do anything to this car but she caught me ordering them :grin:

Red and grey is a beautiful combination, they'll look stunning :cool:

You'll have to be more discreet next time, I doubt it'll be your last car purchase. My bloke knows better than to question what I buy for my car (my hard earned cash anyway) but I do get a knowing look when the various parcels arrive :grin:

Ha ha. Next time I'll be a purchase ninja :smug: Too be fair I'm glad she did because I don't know how I'd sneak 4 alloys with tyres into the house :whistle:

19" once had an 09 plate Typre R and put a set of 19" rage alloys on, looked good but reminded me of my X plate XR3 over the potholes! you may need a neck brace! Sometimes your old comfy leather sofa better to sit on than a plank of wood!
-
Clicked on the link, yip they're nice. I'm in a bit of a fix myself. Hit the kerb both fronts, when i ordered the replica "Rs" they didn't have the same offest as the ones on my GT140 and the paint was a brilliant silver, so am no too fussed. What i what to put on are the new Golf R alloys. I think they'll look good!
-
I'm not gonna blow smoke mate look like 3sdm 00.5 or what ever csl reps
-
They do look like CSL's yeah.
-
Look nice, i do wonder at the quality at that money?
I have a Black ed35 with the Glendales, asthectically very nice, ride quality.....I want a set of 18's. Mine are immaculate, would swap for the original 18" ed35 wheel if anyone knows of any. Maybe just sell mine and re buy the others. Any idea what they would worth or is there a decent market for the Glendale 19" ?
-
I don't think there that cheap I just think that other brands a overpriced. I was gunna pay the same price for a set of team dynamic imolas and team dynamics are a trusted well known brand. Hopefully they will be ok.
