Opinions on wheels

[Ukjeeper21]

So I've narrowed down my wheel selection to the following:

I don't have photoshop so I had to cut/paste/crop with powerpoint hence the amateur pics.

I'm leaning towards the Audi reps but the wifey likes the VMRs...would like to get your thoughts/opinions.

1. Audi TT-RS Titanium reps (18x8 ET45)


2. VMR V718 Gunmetal (18x8.5 ET45)


3. Rotiform BLQs Gunmetal (18x8.5 ET 45)


4. VW Talladegas reps (18x8 ET 45)

[sportwagen rick]

My preference: 4, 1, 2, 3

[rootrider]

[pknopp]

4 or 2.

[peitrus]

Most favored to least: 4,1,3,2

[jhemeon]

You can't go wrong with either 1 or 2. Gunmetal on white SW looks great.

[ValuedCustomer]

4, 1, 2, 3


great thread btw - I've got a candy white jsw that I'm gonna switch out the wheels on too. been looking at #4 and #1 as well. but I'm currently leaning toward MOMO Nexts (pretty much the same price) - I dunno, I change my mind about twice a week..

[Code3VW]

4 or 2...1 and 3 isn't my style...

And if it were me, I'd go with the silver version of 2, if 2 was your selection...

I recently put VW Denvers on my white gold Sportwagen. I like the offbeat look they add.

2,3,4,1

Thanks all for the feedback. Thus far, it looks like the Talladegas are the crowd favorite.

Gunmetal on white SW looks great.

You are absolutely right...IMO gunmetal/anthracite/titanium or any variation of that color looks great on white vehicles....I guess I could always get the Talladegas powdercoated this color....hmmm....

You can tell which is my favorite - no photoshop here!

[sauschell]

audi rotors look very nice, but i think 8x19 et 50 is the better size for the jsw.

[pknopp]

The Audi's look far better actually installed than photoshopped.

They do get a thumbs up for being easy to clean.

What suspension are you running? Looks nice

[gpowell]

Eibach Springs, from Tire Rack (if you call, ask for Keith, he's driven the car from time to time) Some say springs only =blown shocks - I've got about 45,000 miles on the setup, shocks/struts are fine so far.

look much better installed for sure. Eibach Pro Springs?

Went with the BLQs

[james.bigouette]

while they look really nice, i would hate to clean those damn things! congrats on your choice.

[macscac]

i hate you with your fog lights, led headlamps and bodyskirts



at least you didnt go with the talledegas!!
lol

[liniatom]

UKjeeper21 - what tire size is mounted on those rims

looks great btw... love the look

[.KIX.]

I went with 18 Talladegas I hope to get them this week so Pictures will be here... I really love those wheels

[kooma]

is 45 the best offset for the jsw? will 35 make the wheels stick out of the car?

Thanks. Got them on a local trade...they came with practically brand new Dunlop Sport Maxx TT 225/45/18.

[Ukjeeper21]

Quick pic of car with "proper" tires (225/40/18). Also lowered it a little bit more.

FTG front: 24"
FTG rear: 24.5"


Will post better pics this weekend.

[liniatom]

^^^^ that looks so good!! just sick!!! the stance looks perfect... that is EXACTLY the stance i want with my car... very few pull it off, and you did it Sir.. Good Job..

I can't wait to see better pictures, when you do, please take a side shot. I still cant decide between 18 and 19" wheels. im worried the 18's will look too small on the car, but 18 sounds like a good size to go with as it might be a more comfortable ride than the 19's. but the 18's don't look small on your car at all.

still staring at this photo ! sexy

[Ukjeeper21]

Better pics.

[toneman]

lookin' good. love the flat mirror caps.
