Official Carbon Steel Metallic GTI / Golf Thread

All clean.

I’ve been looking for some new wheels and have been considering the rf03rr’s. Are you happy with the matte gray? I’m torn as I’ve been looking for matte black wheels and think the gray doesn’t offer enough contrast. Or I might see if I can find a set in their titanium color…

Great question. I took a gamble on the color. I'm very happy with the gun metal at the end of the day. If you're able to view the gloss black and gun metal in person obviously do that.. I was also considering the bronze.

At the end of the day, for me I wasn't able to see the different color options in person, so I had to go off of Google searches.. overall any color is going to look great on this car. I'm super happy with these rims, I wouldn't consider any other rim imo. They're also pretty lightweight, I believe they are around 18lb. My stock Austin's are like 22lb?? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also the Firestone indy 500 on these rims are also a great pair. Tires are the stock 225 40 18 and the rim is 8.5 wide so there is a little stretch which I like. Stock Austin's are 7.5

That looks great. I'll have to find them somewhere

3dstickers.com. No joke.

Stage 1 uni inlet pipe drop in filter muffler delete. Just got the rims I think they are 18lb each so way lighter than stock. Tires grip awesome. Indy 500s

These look amazing! I'm really tempted to pull the trigger on some. Where did you purchase them from?

Looks like they don't ship to the states. Just trying to find a reputable dealer to purchase them from.

Had an amazing time at Alpine Folks Fair in Helen, GA last week/weekend. Managed to get some really great shots - here are some from my iPhone. Currently sorting through and editing the ones from my full camera too.

WOW, great mind blowing pics. Why, because they look very much like a few places we've visited in Scotland, UK ....
