2014 Volkswagen Golf R hits the track

Loving it. Loving the colour.

That looks and sounds awesome. The DRL's at the front are glorious and as you say that is a cracking colour. God, maybe I should have held off for an R after seeing that

Here are the optional 19s - IMO the first GTI/R wheels that actually look fantastic. Hope they bring these to NA. From the VW site, click for big image:

They look very similar to the M135i wheels.  Very, very nice though - defo a must for any 'R' buyers.

Details on VW Germany R site where you can do some external configuration

http://www.volkswagen-r.de/#!golf7R

video shows the detailing and i like the configurator views of the car, looks great with the 19s

chassis was so good on the mk7 GTI i'm coming round to the fact i don't want to do much modding on next car, the DCC on the GTI has won me over and map and springs and some aftermarket anthracite 18s would do me

I would prefer them in an 18" size myself but the standard wheels are so ghastly IMO I'd go for these despite the size. Either that or use the standards for winter and see if I can find these in the 18" size somewhere else (they would not have the nice VW centre cap then though).
