Make sure you’re not talking about the ebay 18’s that look like the Englishtown 19’s as they apparently do not fit over the BBK.

Better question.... why? I can understand Pretorias.

Pros: they look cool
Cons: they result in a harsher ride and tires are more expensive

I had those on my GTI as well and they are one of the coolest looking OEM wheels.

And light! 21lbs for an OEM 19" wheel is awesome. Flow formed, made by BBS.

Best OEM wheels (this gen):

1) Pretoria chrome/silver 19s

2) Nogaro 18s

3) Pretoria gloss black 18s

4) Austins 18s

5) the rest, some of these are horrifying, looking at you------> Englishtown

Amazing! The OEM wheels on my ‘15 GTI weigh 26#. Guess there must be some unknown value in the thousands more that an R costs. I went with aftermarket Enkei’s in the original size to get 21#.
