Wheel speed based.

Doode. I've been driving a :manuel: R for the last 2 and a half years. I'm :manuel: 4 lyfe. Never owned an auto.

I should've gone DSGay.

Mine are the C4’s in light grey
Do you have more pics ? I thought they were bronze(ish). Damn lighting. Did you have any vibration issues and or have to use hubcentric rings? Also tire crack seems to be recommending :225: tires :wtf:
225 is recommended for the 18" wheel. 235's on the 19".

And yes, you have to use hubrings on pretty much everything but OEM or Neuspeed.

Man the Hype R looks so much better on smaller wheels. Those dubs are just atrocious.

Is my screen fked or do the silvers a hint of bronze in them ?

I should really go test drive some cars.

Found a Type R at carmax 15 min away, and focus RS at carmax 30 min away. Going to try and hit up both this weekend. Need to either keep them in the running or kill them from my list.

Yeah I noticed they were more bronze as well. :iono:

I think I’d get the black wheels if I get them again

:dat: I really like the design, just don't think that color would go well on blue or gray.

Just get neuspeeds. No hubrings and you can reuse the same lugbolts. Simple

I think I average around 250 miles a tank, full 100% inner city driving. 16 MPG. Its been so long since I had the GTI. I think the GTI got 18 ish in same conditions.

Highway it'll do 24-26.
Mixed you could expect about 20 flat.

Maybe it’s Cali gas but I’m pretty sure I’ll be 21/22 highway and 15 city at best. Same gas tank size as my m3 which isn’t terrible.

I do, but at 17s it is a bit on the smaller size. I didn’t like the way my 17s looked compared to my 18s but the comfort was superior. But on the R and the better chassis I’m sure 18s are fine

This looks awesome.

I've always been partial to Work wheels. I think white wheels could look badass on this car if paired with the correct color.

What's your normal highway speed? Philly highways move slower.

Can the golf fit 255/35/18s? 255s should be ok for an 8" wheel.
Otherwise it is :225: 40/18 :disgust: Other sizes are just not standard.
