    Just wanted to see what u guys thought. I kinda broke the norm on the rims and went with the whole matte bronze. A little about me... been a member for a few yrs now. I created the account when i had my mk4. Then in 09 i bought my gti brand new... now have 42k on her

    Not sure if it's just the lighting in the pic or something but i personally think it's hot.

    I LOVE those wheels, beautifully complemented by thesunset glow.
    Love them. Was too cheap to buy 'em for myself after I bought my car.
    Next, buy empiregfx mirror turn signal film for $20 ppd
    and
    get darkened front bumper cover running lights.
    Why post lame photos of stock cars, at dealerships or at home? We know what stock cars look like.

    I was thinking of getting those wheels in matte bronze as well for my black jetta.

    I think you might have convinced me.

    They are just 18x8s. I picked them up from Americas Tire/Discount Tire. Cost about a grand out the door with no rubber..

    Thanks all... getting compliments on the streets as well . As far as coilovers go... im gonna get a set here in another paycheck or 2. I was looking into those solo-werks... not sure yet however. Im also thinking of throwing more bronze accents... gonna start with the emblems prolly this weekend. Pics to come...

    Car looks fantastical Have you thought about what coilovers you wanted to buy? The car will definitely look 'pulled together' once it's lowered on those wheels

    P.S. I have a friend that was stationed at Lemoore and just recently left for NY (I can't remember the name of the base though...)
