Getting New Rims! Need Suggestions!

The nice thing about Neuspeeds is that you don't need to get anything else (new lug bolts, hubcentric rings, etc), so that does save you a little bit of cost.

Just be aware that their 9" wide wheels are NOT hubcentric. Only 8 & 8.5. Albeit most don't go that wide anyway. So maybe a moot point.

Wow, great option. I looked at the 18" version, but they're et40 and 73.1mm hub, which the hub didn't matter, but the et was a little low. Didn't see the 17" version. How much do they weigh?

Not sure but other people report on the web that 17x9 Rota Grid in 5x114.3 are around 20lb

I think he was just posting the weight of the wheels and the only weight he found were for the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. He wasn't suggesting that bolt pattern as an option.

But they ARE available in 5x112.

exactly. wheel weight is hard to find for many wheels. sometimes there are references in other bolt patterns.

Another new member.....new WHITE 19 Golf SE (not a GTI) looking for pics, suggestions
thoughts......
I'm wanting 18x8.5 et45 or 18x8 et42 and favor Hyper Silver or ??? (NO Black or Dark Shades)

Ive ordered MAXTON Gloss Black Skirts & Front Splitter
Had my Windows Tinted 25% and XPEL Ultimate Applied (Front Facia, Hood and Fenders etc)

Leaning towards the VMR710 or the similar Enkei Raijin......and then the ENKEI TY5
plus find the VMR 703 & 701 appealing

https://www.moddedeuros.com claims that the VMR are Clear Powder Coated which
I cant find on the VMR web site....
I'm thinking VMR & ENKEI are a PAINTED Finish !!!!!

Your thoughts please !!!!

Hi, I am ALSO a new member! Has anyone heard anything about Spec1 wheels? I've been looking at the sp53s and I can't find any info on Spec1 in general, nevermind the specific wheels themselves.

SVTunit, I admire your Hyper Silver TY5's but just couldnt bring MYSELF to buying them for
my similar 19' WHITE Golf SE.

I was waffling between the VMR 710 and the ENKEI Raijin but then heard about the new
ENKEI XM6 (similar to Raijin) but fewer "Y" spokes.......

How wide are your 19" TY5's ....8" et 45 or 8.5" et 42 and your Tire Size (width)
as Im curious to how lose you are to FLUSH or NOT ??????
