I'm Finally Buying New Rims!

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Hi all,

I have just been informed that I will be getting some new rims for my GTi this christmas providing that I do some work to get the house ready for selling.

I want some ROTA Grid-Drifts 16x8" in white.

First off, will these fit under my arches nicely with some slightly stretched tyres?, because I know that 8" is quite wide!

Secondly, what tyre manufacturer should I go with out of Falken, Toyo and Yokohama? I need to have the assurance of some really good grip in all weathers.

And finally, what offset do I need?

Thank you for your time, :)

I don’t think they do the 4x100 stud pattern in the drifts but I could be wrong

tyre wise i would go for the toyos

No they don't do the correct offset. :( Boosts it is then!

they might be doing a 4x100 set.. but youll most likely need to roll and flare the arches to get em to fit?

Not cool.

You too reece.

I'm sick of the mean spirited people on forums. I've already left one today, don't give me a reason to leave another. Farhan is a cool guy who posts helpful things. He doesn't just litter threads with crummy pot-shots trying to make everyone laugh.

Kynan is right alot of forums are becoming very tense we all need to take a deep breath and chill out, thought we were all car enthusiast not keyborad warriors.

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Been looking at these.... not sure if I should go for white or black rims. It'll be a white car with black surrounds on the inside of the headlights, and the sidelights are smoked.

RS5

Anyone think they will be good on the GTi? They're really cheap too! :)

[cabcurtains]

White with White Wheels is nice :D

[KPARRIS-JONES]

White with White Wheels is nice :D

That's what I have been leaning towards more than anything else... :) so hard to decide!

[LAA69]

White, not black .....

[KPARRIS-JONES]

White, not black .....

I'm sold then. White it is.

Thanks. :D

For my taste they dont suit. i guess they are popular wheels tho. it is after all your choice.

I saw them and liked them in a flight of fancy. I have a long time until I will be getting rims, making the title ironic yes, but coilovers and not having a GTi that falls over is more important!

[ricc]

these in white though ;)

ommmm nom nom

[KPARRIS-JONES]

They were my next choice!

I would love some of those too, although they are very popular too, especially on Jap rides. That doesn't really put me off al that much though....

I do quite like the polished lip on the others though, it is a subtle difference against the white that I think really sets it off. But there are others with lips like that so I'll keep looking. :D

[LAA69]

RS's look nicer with that polised lip you mention KP .....

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Decisions decisions....

I think that I will take a while longer before I decide. ;)
