My daily tires are 225 45 17.

Again, it's a super common size and less expensive because of that. I plan on doing FK510's in 255 40 17 after these wear out. The current 225's only had 1000 miles on them and I tried to sell them with the Runlites, but my buddy wanted the runlites and I couldn't find a buyer for the tires, so I mounted them on my other set of RSe16s. I think I'll eventually end up with 3 sets of wheels again, but I'll use on set of the RSe16s for street, one for track, them get a set of 18 x 9 and try to stuff 265 35 18 under the fenders for autocross. Probably go with Apex.
Gotcha thnx

And I'm pretty impressed how well the FK510's, even in 225, put down the power. Granted I'm only stg 1. I will say there's a marked difference between the same tire on 7.5 in rim vs 8.5 in rim. I really think VW should be using 8 in rims with 225's, but if they did, they'd end up being 30 lbs the way VW builds boat anchors, I mean wheels.

I’ve heard they’re good throw always. Like, super cheap and performs good. No need to feel pain in your pocket when u do burnouts.

I went to 17's because I go through 2 sets of tires per year and by going to a lightweight wheel saved weight in the process.
Yeah, mine are 15 lbs and the extra sidewall feels great.

Boys. Neuspeed rse10’s or konig ampliforms.

I have about white gti and I wanna go for the matte bronze. Honesty is appreciated. This is a safe place.

if I go neuspeed it’ll be 18x8 and on 235/35/18

if I go konig it’ll be 18x8.5 and on 245/35/18
Neuspeed is great, but see below:
I mean yes the RSE10's look amazing and I actually wanted a set but it seems to be the "go to" VW wheel option (for good reason) so I'd get something different. Either of those would look awesome tho.
Everyone has RSE10s. Neuspeed makes tons of good options, I'd pick another wheel from them. I really like the fat lip on the rse122/142. He's my rse142's:
