Wheels and beauty are a very personal thing but for me the BBS CKs are the perfect wheel for the mk6. They look a lot better on a mk6 than they do on a mk5 for some reason. The CH style wheel looked perfect on a mk5 but don't look quite right on a mk6. I've tried enough styles on my two mk6s now to know what looks right in the flesh so do feel qualified to comment on this!!
The argument about ED35 wheels looking more up to date is valid enough but they still don't have the muscular look of CKs in the flesh and neither do they have the offset to fill the arches properly.
Every time my GTI gets parked up somewhere someone comments on the wheels, young people, old people and everything in between. In fact I'm very nervous about leaving the car anywhere!
TD Pro Race 1.2s also look good on a mk6 in the flesh. Don't spend too much time looking at photos on the internet. You need to see wheels in the flesh as photos don't convey the 3D appearance well.
