Help Me Pick New Wheels/Tires

[Inigo]

Hello all,

I have a 2018 Indium Grey Golf R. I want new wheels and tires. I'm looking for a lightweight wheel that is a little wider or rests flush with the body.

I like the sporty or "track" look and wouldnt mind going with 18s in order to put meety tires on her.


Please offer suggestions and post pictures of what you think would look/work best.

I highly suggest only buying wheels with a center bore the same as stock (57.1mm).
So, Neuspeed wheels, stock wheels, select VMR wheels, and of course some nice custom forged wheels. If someone here knows of other wheel brands that come in 57.1mm center bore add them please.

Of course you may not like the look, but price/weight ratio is excellent. https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whe...oModel=Golf+GTI+SE&autoYear=2018&autoModClar=

Have you looked through the lightweight wheel thread?

I’m. Running VMR v810s. 18x8.5 et45. 20.1lbs per wheel. They’re just about flush in the back and flush in the front. They’re a huge improvement over OEM. I have 235/40/18 PSS on them and the whole setup maybe cost 2k.
