Alloys GTD vs GTi

[pauliem]

Anyone else other than me think the standard alloys on the GTD are a bit nicer than the GTi ones?

They just look so right on the Golf.

Nope !

Love the standard alloys on the GTi, wouldnt even swap them for the 19s even if they were a no cost option !

The question is “do any future GTI owners think the Nogaros look better than the Austins”.
I think most future GTD owners here would think the Nogaros look better if they haven’t already commented about the wheels already within other threads.

GTD on order and prefer the 18" GTD wheels over the 19" or 18" GTIs

When I had a GTD on order (loooong story) I said the Nogaro's. Haha!
Now I've got the GTI on order it has to be the Austin's. Haha!

What a slag I am

I think the Std GTD alloys look very similar to the 19". I had to look twice to notice the difference on the configurator. Both look very modern and cutting edge.
The GTI alloys however look a bit dated to me, I'm sure they had something similar on a mk 5. if I was buying a GTI I would definitely upgrade to 19" but with the GTD there is no point.

All my opinion of course and when we are spending significant sums of money we always defend our position.

(I have a GTD on order (which is best))

There's not much in it, but I'm gonna stick my neck out & say "I prefer the GTD standard Nogaro's over the GTi Austins"..... Only because the phone dial/ axe head design are a little bit long in the tooth. That's not to say I don't like them, its just that the Nogaro's are a refreshing change... Now don't flame me!

I was not a big fan of the alloys in the Mk5 and Mk6 GTI but these new ones are much sharper looking. If they had stuck with the same design I would definitely have went with the Santiagos

[Bill_the_Bear]

I like the Santiagos best, very fresh design IMO.  The Austins are pretty cool too, but not quite as cool as the Santiagos.  I'm not really a fan of the Nogaros.  Unlike the Austins and Santiagos they feel a bit too much like a generic after market design.

There is probably no small amount of bias here though in the sense that I can see how I might make myself prefer the Nogaros over the Austins if I had ordered a GTD.  I'm sure the same is true for many of us.  Santiagos really are the best though.
