I was having a bit of a dull day and wondered what 5 spokes would look like on my car and HEY PRESTO.............. :grin:
What are everyones thoughts on how they look? (good and not so good too please!)
Yes, I know the tyres are pants, but it is just a tester to see how they looked.
Alloys weigh 0.8 kg less than the Pescaras, so not much in it.
Not necessarily keeping these alloys, but I'm open to other 5 spoke suggestions too :cool:

just because you cant read TAROX with the pesci's on! lol.
i quite like those mate, show off the calipers nicely :wink:
-
Could do with a better side profile shot to give better judgement... from those pics, they look ok but not the best design
-
:undecided:
Nah...
-
Not for me either, but I'm sure you already know, alloys along with other styling mods are a very personal subjective thang! :wink:
-
Hmm, not my cup of tea, sorry!
I still stand by my view that I have never ever seen a set of alloys which looks better than the 18" Monzas :smiley:
-
I think they look nice, as neg said could do with a side shot.... whats going on with your bonnet by the way? Is it CF?? Doesn't look properly shut! :huh:
-
nah, not for me either, they sound like diesels now you made it look like one :grin:
-

Bonnet is CF and the gas strut pushes it up slightly. Sits flat with the strut off though.
-
Okay, opinions are split on these 5 spokes. Apart from Monza II's (which are lovely but are too common and have the "worm" issues) does anyone have any alternatives - with pics preferably :smiley:
-
I like those! They look very easy to clean :wink: Never seen them before though, what are they??
-
S3 alloys in matt black maybe but they are not 5 spoke
-

Dare Shark alloys.
I originally bought them when I had my GTTDI as they are a gunmetal finish and the car was Steel Grey.
They have been gathering dust for a while and I'm wondering whether to refurb them in silk black and put them on the car or Ebay them.

Hurdy
Here are a few options from the OZ range, in 19", or there are always Rota 5 spokes.
If you go to www.tirerack.com, you can search for wheels by car, and then view them on a side picture of the Mk 5 in whichever colour you want....
OZ Crono

OZ Palladio

OZ Rafaello

Really like them mate!
Maybe mirror polish them?
:smiley:
-
I like them, do them in the same colour as the pescara's and try them again,, bet they look top
-
I like but i love these

Surprised you needed to ask Hurdy :rolleyes: :rolleyes: saw these on a black Mk5 last weekend and IMO they look gash mate.Even the guy who owns the car I saw them on is selling the wheels after 3 weeks of ownership
-
2nd that - a bit Halfords IMO...
-
I agree with the fact that the monzas are probably the best wheel for the golf. But if you are planing on changing why not go with the M3 CSL's on the other thread... i think everyone pretty much agreed that they look :sick:
Think the sharks makes yours look a bit like the pirreli!
-
What about these. And yes i'd prefer the blonde. :wink:

Yes, but if she were a real airliner, then her "black box" would actually be dayglo orange! :shocked:
-
Fcuk the two babes (I would!) just give me those rims (no not theirs either!)
-
Yes, but if she were a real shiner, then her "black box" would actually be dayglo orange!
....Whatever turns you on, T_T!! :evil: :wink:
Brazilian Airlines anyone?
Best I can do at the moment - No pics of Varig air hostesses :sad: : -

Ohh, she's worth a poke, and she's also working on the correct mouth action too! :evil:

Ohh, she's worth a poke, and she's also working on the correct mouth action too! :evil:

Right, Back on topic now please :smiley:
Here are a set of alloys I quite fancy - a bit jap tuner, but then I have got the Jap C/F thing going on anyway :rolleyes:
(http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t8/hurdy_album/5spoke.jpg)
What do you lot think?

I'd be interested to see what a MK5 looked like with the BBS CX-R alloys.

very in your face, would a more matte finish not compliment the CF?

Alrighty....
The Wynberg art department says the following: (You gotta love projectors)
1. Whatever rims you choose they have to be sharp and in a sense rather rugged. None of this round stuff.
Your car looks sharp and with the lines in the carbon fibre anything smooth or round seems to go against the cause.
2. Either black or a dark silver (Blue- thats your cue to post up your resprayed rims from your Focus ST)
Oh yes. We all love the car :laugh:
Examples:

Oh yes. I like this one the most :evil:

Have fun :wink:

Cheers Mike :cool:
I've been down to a few local alloy dealers to a) compare prices and b)see if anything grabs my fancy.
The Dotz alloy above has the "rainbow" effect on stainless steel and he had two things to say about it
1) He believes it is rainbow laquer on a stainless rim :sick:
2) He doesn't rate Dotz for either quality or supply (and he has stopped stocking them!)
I did notice these wheels at the time and thought that they would look rather good ( and they match in with what you said Mike :wink:)

^^^yummy

Now those are HOTT!
Anything a little more rigid maybe? Like not so curved?
I like. Must I post up more rims?
Mike

A thousand Jap tuners across the land have just put their flip cars, rainbow wheels and titanium exhausts on Fleabay :laugh:
They look better "in the flesh", but I get the subliminal message loud and clear :wink:

hurdy,....... very dissapointed that you even posted this kind off cr@p on our very respectful, decent forum :angry: :angry: very unimpressed, its a good job im not a mod or youd be banned :grin: :grin:

Remember though I am a moderator and could easily change your previous post to read:-
"Hurdy.....those wheels look fabulouso, I just have to have a set to proclaim I'm coming out and would love you all to come around to my house for a game of spoons"
:wink: :grin:

HAHAHAH :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: u tw@t :rolleyes:

Lol :grin:

Hurdy, was reading the last article in EVO last night, the comparison between the R8 and new RS6, which reminded me of this thread. The R8 has a nice set of split 5 spoke wheels which would show off your brakes perfectly. The originals would probably cost a mint but a good quality set of German TUV replicas could be a good shout. Check out this link, don't know how well made these are though: http://swtyres.co.uk/wheels/search/size:19/brand:audi_prestige
These in black are only available in 19", not sure if they would suit a silver car but they're also available in silver with diamond cut face.
