Talking of which, how come we aren’t seeing pics from mk8 gti owners. It’s almost like you’re embarrassed.
“ get yourselves up, man..come on put a smile on your face, you’re here for business “ ( as graham Taylor said to rob shepherd)

My car is very shy as every post on the internet ever says mk8’s are butt ugly and Richmonds induce projectile vomiting immediately on sight...  :sick:  :whistle:

It’s been unused since I got it home, surrounded by boxes in the garage and blocked in by two other cars. I refuse to have a third car covered in salt from commuting, would only use the thing in the dark for going to and from work and can’t go anywhere else as we are in lockdown so photos are, err, pending!  :laugh:  :lipsrsealed:

Some teaser pics peeking between boxes?







fredgroves, hurry up and get that silver GTI ordered so we can see some pics  :grin:

Haha, come on, it’s a perfectly good looking car. Though i do agree those alloys aren’t nice looking.
Easy enough to put right!

I actually don’t mind the standard wheels at all, there are plenty of worse ones out there.
However, I already have the cure for the standard wheels, just need to decide on tyres at some point.

And moving back onto topic...

I drove past a (parked up) deep black GTI the other day and was surprised how good the standard wheels looked in the flesh.

Still don't see why there is so much negativity towards the 7.5/8 standard alloys  - although I do like the brescia's -  I love my parkers and think the richmonds also look absolutely fine!

I like the Parkers and Richmonds too. Maybe we need a poll....

When I bought my car (delivery exactly 1 year ago today) I really wanted the Brescia's as they are a more attractive wheel. Test driving Bresica's (19's of course), I noticed immediately the ride harshness against the my soon to be traded in Scirocco on 18's.

I did put a post up at the time Parkers v Bresica's as I really valued opinion.

I thought about it and did not think the Parker's looked that bad after all. Much like the MK8 I saw in the showroom the other day, the standard wheels, ok - not amazing, but not as bad as the photos seem to make out.

A year on, no regrets on wheel choice.

Sorry for deviating off topic again!  :smiley:

I just think it's a shame they only offer the choice of one eighteen and one nineteen. Changing wheels for third party ones is not without potential insurance minefield problems and as you say choosing nineteens has potential negative effects on ride, extra co2 and extra tyre costs. Quite frankly it's a bit disappointing from vw on a 34k plus car.
