LIGHTWEIGHT Wheels

[nype]

Thanks for this information. I am going to be picking up a set of Fast FC04 17x8 for my lightweight winter setup!

Smart man! Reminder the bronze are not winter approved. Titanium are, FWIW. Not sure about black.

Recommend 235/45/17 tires. Nearly the same circumference as 225/40/18. 3mm arch gap loss. Should be ok with your DG springs.

Why such skinny tires?

Stock tires on there for the time being. I want to try and fit 245/40 after these are shot.

I had my heart set on OZ Ultraleggeras, but they're on a three-month backorder. That led me to asking my buddy who is a rep for Falken and drives an S3.

He suggested I check out Titan Wheels. Holy cow! These things are incredible. Not only are they beautiful, but at 17.8 pounds each they are over a pound lighter than the OZ wheels. 18x8.5. Forged. I just ordered a set in satin titanium (they're also available in machine black). They're about $500 more than the OZ Ultraleggeras, but for a forged wheel that's not unreasonable.

Let me know what you think. I can't wait to get these things on my car!

I really wish you didn't post this - damn those look good and sub 18lbs is unbelievable

LOL they are more than reasonable...Try finding a cheaper set of fully forged aftermarket wheels that work on MK7s.

I'd say so, yeah.

TSW Bathurst 19-8.5 et 45 think weight on them is about 20.8lb with Firestone Indy 500 235/35/19
Installed yesterday. I was concerned being lowered on HR Sport Springs and jumping up to 19’S but for the little I’ve driven so far it’s not too bad!
No regerts here ?

^^ Looks great! I've been eyeing 18" Bathursts for my GTI. The 19s look great though.. is the ride noticeably rougher with the H&R springs with 19s compared to the stock 18s? Tire prices are another reason I'm leaning toward 18s.

im running 19x8.5 et 45s lowered on eibach proline kit. tires ran me $135 each for Yokohama S.Drive Ultra HP Summer tires so there are VERY reasonable options out there! Dont let the tire prices scare you!

However, ride will be slightly more.... rough, but not uncomfortable by any means.

can I see more of the TSW's???

How room between the spokes and PP calipers on those Bathurst? Their 17x9 is et50 and spokes will prb touch, wondering how much spacer they'd need to clear.
