I know its all a matter of personal taste, but what do you guys think of this wheel in 19" on a candy white 5 dr?

(first attempt at posting pics, hope this works)

Yes they look pretty good, think they will look good on the GTi, cost a few quid too.

....Great big thumbs up from me too! Especially on an Ed30.

The only question I would have is whether they are made by BBS because of their tendency to badly surface corrode in UK winter road salts etc.

Thanks for the comments guys. I prefer a subtle look and i like the clean lines and solid look of this wheel, which i think suits the GTI. And although I was actually looking for black wheels with a polished lip, but not having much luck with finding one i like, this is a good alternative with the dark insides.

I think the wheels are made by Borbet (they being Oettinger's technical partner as stated on their website). Haven't seen the wheels in the metal but yes i believe its got a similar finish to the Monzas.

Wouldn't be meaningful to compare prices we pay over here due to exorbitant import taxes on stuff like this - but as a reference, they would cost me about 5% more than a 19" BBS CH.
