Daks' GTI

[Daks]

Found out I bent one of my RSE12's when I smashed a pothole last year. Too bad. I don't get a vibration or anything, so not really in a rush to replace it, but I called to ask how much one rim would cost. Apparently prices went up and they want $700CAD/wheel. Fuck that, I say. I can get a brand new set of SuperSpeeds for 900. And with my newly found love for the GTI, I'm thinking:

Fuck it. Yolo?

I gotta side with the D man. Not a fan of red wheels on a white car. Come to think of it, I can't think of any car I'm a fan of red wheels on. But it's a cosmetic item, and only what you think matters.

Superspeed RF06RR's are dope though.

Now you could always go for Rota Grids. Those come in a 17x9 which is nice. Not light wheels, but also not crazy heavy. Around 20 pounds.

Your car is white, ya? I've seen other GTI's with red rims and while it may not be my personal choice they do look good

My vote is for Momo heritage 6's

One is bent and it bothers me. This may be a next year thing. Trying to get some discussion going on the forum. Slow day - the sparkplug threads are back up, you know you're in the shits when we're there again.

Wouldn't mind a set of 18x9 PF05RR.

RF06RR come in 17x9 and I wouldn't mind down-sizing, but man, why they gotta come only in ET38? Bit too much poke IMO.

Embrace the inner ricer. Be loud.


.....but honestly you'll probably hate them after a month because they're too damn loud. It'll be like the exhaust all over again.

If anyone knows something that looks close to these OEM rims, do let me know:

hard to tell without a better shot. never seen those before. TSW Sebring is kind of similar with the 5 Y spokes ontop and 2 spokes going straight through each Y.
Doubt you'll find anything with that color combo though. and by the time you get another set painted it might just be cheaper to get the real ones.
