Does anyone have any snaps of their mk7 with edition 35 alloys?

Watkins Glen or Glendales?

If its Glendales, then google image search 'Mk7 Gti Glendales' has several examples.

Looks rather good IMO.

They've got to be 19" replicas but they do look really good.
Take heed VW stylists who are busy working on the edition 40!

Assuming the R400 isn't in place of the 40? But that's a whole different story...

They don't look good at all IMO. Austins look perfect on the MK7 GTI.

Personally I hate Austins with a passion.

I am not the biggest fan of Austins, but really dislike the santiagos.

My problem is IMO after market 19s require lowering and I can't be bothered with any drivetrain warranty issues/adaptive cruise recalibration. I was thinking about ch-r or VWR's.

My wife has an octavia VRS and the dealer fitted the accesory Eibachs and confirmed no impact on the warranty. Unfortunately there are no springs in the vw accessories so I may end up getting Austins for winters.
