If it was me....I would stay with in the oem market. I'm due to take delivery of a GTD soon and they come with 17" seattles as standard but I've managed to get some monza shadow II's for it....

I believe most on here wud say the same or find some nice replica's but with reps they tend to start to look nasty after a few months....

This is only my opinion of course.... :wink:

I have to agree with Scott.

Anything other than OEM (with the exception of genuine BBS or VWR) will spoil the look of a Mk6

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Sort of agree with that, there are some nice non-BBS wheels out there but I think BBS suit the Golf to a tee.


If you want bigger than the 17's I go for 18" OEM wheels.

I'd agree with the above. I would add another option "stick with OEM". I suspect that will be the poll winner.
