Thinking of buying these for my gti, just seeing what people think of them good or bad.

Yes they remind me a little of the helios rim, not sure what size to go for yet was really thinking of 18's with a nice drop on the car that way i can use the tyres i already have which are brand new,then get the car lowered  with the money saved :wink:

imho 19's will fill the arch better, then save and get it lowered at a later date?

sell your old tyres and put them towards some new ones job done  :party:

Yup - because the rim is black, they may look a little small in 18" as it'll blend into the tyre??

I like the Schmidt range of alloys and these are good looking too. The only thing I know I wouldn't like if I owned them would be the fear of white worm as they are polished and laquered fronts on that design. :happy2:

Never thought about the dredded white worm, good shout  :happy2: i've also looked at the option of 19's but they only do these in 18's.

Kinda like these too 19"

They are nice too. It was one of their new alloys last year. I still like the Jack-line alloy, but again they make them in 18" and the next one up is a 20"er :surprised: which I think is just a little too big.

They would look okay but look a bit out of place , why not consider the Helios wheel or another stock VW/Audi rim ?

failing that BBS CH ftw ! :laugh:

i was thinking of getting the 19"helios wheels or am i best getting bbs as they weigh a lot less not to mention the cost

BBS would be a solid bet and suit the car better dynamically.

The Helios rims would be more unique

The chioce is a tough one....unless you can afford both, in which case I'd go for neither and get CF Dymags :signLOL:
