I can't decide really on this.

On one hand, those are "classic GTI heritage look" wheels, definitely its a GTI with those on it.

On the other hand, its not the modern look of a GTI, which is all laser cut wheels (love it or hate it)

A bit like putting horse brasses up in your Huf Haus  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry if thats a bit savage, just try read this calmly.

Wheels always subjective. Hopefully you have some decent wheel cleaning products  :wink:

They look a lot easier to clean than Santiagos! They look good to me.

I like them but needs to be lowered for the full look as they do appear smaller than they are and needs the drop to fully compliment them.

No problem at all. If we all liked the same thing it would be a bit dull. If you prefer the Parkers and the machined wheels that's your preference. We just don't agree, that's all.
