Hopefully the CKs won't become too common and most of you will go off and buy CS-5s and live happily ever after.
One thing I will say for the CKs though is that they look better in the flesh as they are a '3D wheel' which don't photograph as well as they look in the metal.
The 'fussy' design is their muscular organic style which looks amazing in the sunlight when they've just been cleaned. I was never the biggest fan of the design until I saw a set in the flesh and was blown away by them.
I had a wheel very similar to the CHs on my GTI (in fact the first wheels I put on it after taking delivery) and they looked a bit too small on the mk6 for some reason. I think it's because the mk6 needs a wheel where the spokes come right up to the edge of the rim. The CH looks perfect on the mk5, less so on the mk6. For motorsport use it's an entirely different matter.
The CS-5s spokes come right to the edge of the wheel, maybe that wheel will become to the mk6 what the CH did to the mk5. Perfect harmony.
Either way, if it's BBS it's okay by me. BBS+GTI= Happy Marriage
