...some new wheels. I've narrowed it down to two light weights!

I've done a few photoshops to help visualise them in the car:

Oz's for me in antracite. Think they are alot lighter than bbs arent they? Plus you dont need spacers because they are a pain :happy2:

I actually prefer the Monza! Second choice is satin black bbs

I have to 2nd this. I usually hate monzas but they always look good on a white golf! My mate has a mk6 CW gti and they suit that well too!

Ok so I found these... Sparco Pro Corsa.

Not sure of the specs but hoping they are 18x8 an clear the caliper so without spacers.

The two wheels are very similar in weight.

Not biased at all.... :signLOL:

Just a little huh!!

BBS CH-R in Satin Black with SS Rim Protector. I'm more of a fan of black wheels and they'd look awesome on a white GTI.
But frankly, any of the wheels you've listed will be f**king amazing so you won't go wrong either way.

Any of the wheels on discussion will look good in anthracite, IMHO. Black colour kills any wheel, you can only really appreciate its design from close range. Monza II's look great but with 12,8 kg they're heavy compared with the others that weight just 8,2-8,4 kg.
Here's my suggestion with no spacer required: :wink:

Not a massive fan of the ultrauglies... I'm feeling the anthracite colour more and more but I'm still on the fence with all the wheels.
I'm trying so hard not to be impulsive for a change- sleeping on it!
