I loath these wheels  :sick:  probably upset the mk7 guys  :whistle:

I'm beginning to really dislike the latest crop of VW diamond cut alloys, they are starting to look cheap and tacky.  That's why I'd pick the Pretorias every time.

^+1. I also dislike them because of their susceptibility to the dreaded whiteworm!

There is a dark blue mk7 R parks on the road outside were I work with those wheels on. The mk7 R in dark blue is growing on me as i pass it 4 times a day but I really dont like those wheels at all. The 19" optional ones look much better.

Not really a fan of either of the Mk7 R wheels. Personally I'd be putting some B8 RS4 alloys on it if I had one, imo they'd really suit

A comparison just for you Snoop  :wink:
Changes are subtle at first glance but all the differences add up for me



Ive seen one pic on golfmk6.com of them on a Mk6 GTi and they looked good but would suit a Mk7 much more i think
