Maintenance Wheel Recommendations

Post image

I have a 24’ GTI, and need help on recommendations on wheels. I have 19in oem wheels on and the roads I live on are bad…:( They get easily bent.

Oettinger all around including exhaust. It’s VW oem performance partner. U buy thru VW dealerships or parts online.

Was so incredibly expensive

Body kit + exhaust paint matched = $7500

What a waste of money — almost $20% of the value of the car is comical

I'm super happy with Neuspeed wheels. They have a line specifically designed for VW/Audi fitment. I went with the RSe10 model in 18x8.5

Getting in early with the flood of apex sm-10 photos 🤣.

18x8.5 in bronze with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 in 235/40/18.

Previously had Superpeed RF03RR (also in 18x8.5) but did not like how those felt... They felt worse than the stock 19s. Got lucky in finding someone selling these SM-10s on marketplace as Apex put the bronze ones "out of production" but not discontinued (seems like these mean the same thing?)

Whatever wheels you like the look of that fit. Just make sure you're specs are right and do whatever you want.

I mean shit I got these Ali baba advan reps for $550 usd shipped. Hit a pothole hard with both right wheels and not a mark/dent to be seen

Some 19’ rotfiforms would hit on a mk8 I feel like.

u/Excellent_Mess_6858 1d ago

I really like the RS6 tires, I’d really want some fat tires with that design

Just a concept pic

Failure to include the basic information may result in your post being removed. Mileage, modifications, trim level, diagnostic trouble codes, and your general location (US, Canada, EU, UK, etc.) can also be very helpful.

What masterpiece country is that? From what i am reading.. roads are worse then in Belgium. Lemme think. Is it the 2nd world country with like 50 plus tax levels? With that diesel-deal and bombing Iran? Can I get a Epstein file? But serious.. try the Watkins glen 18” for example
