Here’s the first photo I’ve seen of a GTI on the Estoril wheels which are a factory option here in Ireland. I think they look great!

We get the same ugly standard wheels as you guys and the Adelaides are also an option. The Estorils above are about €100 extra over the Adelaides. Worth it imo!

There’s also a black Estoril wheel, might be good if you fancy avoiding diamond cut.

Yeah the black ones are really nice. I'd go for those in a heartbeat.

I have a GTI on order with a set of the Estorils so delighted to see them above, think I made the right choice!

Was torn between the diamond cut and the black but went with the diamond cut in the end.

Formerly GTI but now gone to the darkR side…

Nice!
I’m sure you’re aware of the VRT / road tax implications with the 19’s on the standard (non Clubsport) GTI?

You guys know the Estorils have the "R" logo on the rim? I've seen them in person on a Dolphin Grey and while they look great, the "R" logo on a GTI would kill me!

Each to their own but I actually LIKE the standard 18's!! I like the standard 18's which I have on my Mk7.5 GTI and I'd go as far to say that I'd spend the money on the H/K sound system than any of the 19" wheel options as I'd get more joy from it.

I think I could live with a stray R logo on them as them suit the car so much more than the other alloy choices imo. Wheels, like colour, are a very personal choice and really make or break a car for me.

Yeah I know about the R logo alright but its pretty small and I could live with that any day. I could not live with those standard rims, they would a be a deal breaker for me. The Adelaides are much better but I think the Estorils are far and away the nicest.

I can see Pretoria's reappearing in the options too at some stage and if those were an option I'd choose them without hesitation and they're also technically an R wheel  :smiley:
