R32 Wheels for GTI
« on: 01 November 2008, 19:39 »
Im considering a few mods and one may be some R32 wheels? the muliti spoke ones. On ebay there are a few advertised as R32 style at under £300, does anybody have any experience of these??? are they ok to put on a golf and also will 18's fit on my GTI without any problems???

Cheers,

Mark  :rolleyes:

"R32 style" is usually an euphemism for replica.

Replicas are not usually made to same exacting oem standards of rigidity/hardness so buy with care as you'll be the one driving with them.

....

Each to their own but if I had a Mk5 R32 the first thing I would change would be to get rid of those stock alloys. Well, after a Milltek exhaust to hear that V6 sing!

Also a nightmare to keep them clean.

I agree, I have them on my GTI....they were there when I bought the car...not the easiest to keep pristine, I would love a nice set of Monza II's, just cant afford to get them just now.
