I'm currently searching for lightweight wheels and looking at what else is on the market besides the cheaper options of Team Dynamic 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.5 compared to your more expensive options of OZ Ultraleggera / Allegerrita..
I've come across Autec Wizards (See below) which are growing on me the more i look at them.. Lead to believe these are 9kg's each?.. Correct me if I'm wrong..
http://www.rimstyle.com/alloywheels/wheel/index.html?wheel=autec_wizard_type_w_gm&colour=gunmetal_anthracite
There is also the speed line turini's but as i've found are quite sparse..
What else is out there that are specifically lightweight and between £6-800 without tyres give or take..
-
Difficult to find light wheels for the price your after spending.
Just do what I did get some pro race alloys and spend the rest on tuning.

Seriously the Speedline turinis look better than most and worth hunting down http://www.rimstyle.com/alloywheels/wheel/index.html?wheel=speedline_corse_turini_2120_gm&colour=gunmetal_anthracite :love: :love:
Or these http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/bola/evr/matt-black/18-inch

I am in the same boat. Looking to getting light weight rims for my black gti. Not sure what colour to go for. Don't like black on black so I am guessing gun metal/anthracite is the best colour for black. Had looked at the team dynamics 1.2.
Any one got any photos of there black gti with the gun metal team dynamics??
-
Carl. Tbh get the TD 1.2's.
I weighed both my 1.2's and my Turini"s and 1.2's were around a kilo a corner lighter (info in my build thread somewhere), yes my Turini's look the nuts but if you are after light weight within your price range look no fitter than the TD's. Oz HLT's will be awesome but you'll be paying twice as much.

Like those. :wink:

Nice. More than a passing resemblance to an OZ wheel...

They're very well made. Got them on my R32. :smiley:

You have a picture of these on your R32? Or a link to a build thread as I can't find a picture of them on a golf from a quick google

They look a lot like OZ Ultraleggeras but if they're much cheaper, why not? :smiley:

Yeah, great wheels indeed but for that money they better be! :surprised: :drool:
-

Yes, similar (although the 9RR's have two extra spokes). I'd looked at OZ's but they were almost twice the price for not much weight difference. I'd only seen the 9RR's on one other Golf (a MK6 R) so they're quite a rare sight.

I got my OZ for 850 £ (new). I was willing to go till 1100 £ tops for a new set of light wheels.

That's cheap! Seemed to be around £1500 for a set of four when I was looking.

Thanks very much, suit your 32 superbly in my opinion

I got mine in this store: http://www.pneubeato.com/promocoesoz.htm (http://www.pneubeato.com/promocoesoz.htm)
304,50 €/each for 18''x8'' Ultraleggeras = +- 860 £
Not sure if they can ship the wheels abroad.

I would never pay £2500 for wheels I got lucky with them just about to mount them on the Audi. Revo have brought some wheels out haven't they

Look great mate how much did these cost you?

@jacobrownoly (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11626)
The only difference is the 1.2's have the Team Dynamics stamping around the edge. The 1.5's are the same as the VWR wheels:

@Mitch H (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11699)
I picked them up for £590 from Demon Tweeks. Not bad when the set from VW Racing cost over £900 from Awesome GTI : http://www.awesomegti.com/vwr-18-x-8-wheel-gunmetal-grey-et45-set-of-4#
-
Think they are the pro race 1.3 ?
-
Which ones @xjay1337 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7542) ? I could (quite easilly) be wrong.
-
If I remember right 1.3's only came in a wider widths.

That may explain it! :notworthy:
