Is it just me or do the Artic look just like your OEM rims? from the 1/2 car shot you gave.. looks identical.. just darker color..

personally I dont like either..

[vw Neo]

Well, yeah my OEM rims are the BBS from the Wolfsburg package. Many rim manufactures do copy the BBS style for it's look and it's great strength. The ones posted are 18 x 8.5. Thanks for the input, feel free to post a set of rims YOU think would look nice. :thinker:

[1sikJetta]

the wasp look hot IMO. they will definately look different than his stock rims considering they are bigger and darker.

[v-dub mikey]

I like the wasps but I've heard they look cheap in person.

[BigGTI]

what $$ range?

[vw Neo]

Well, these are on sale for $135 a piece.
The tires are $149 a piece
I can get a package deal with Toyo T1-S for $1129

[v-dub mikey]

get em and if you don't like em I'll let you give them to me.

[rodney]

artic, the bolts along the edge of the wasp make 'em look too busy

[ibid]

NEITHER!!

I will NEVER AGAIN buy from EdgeRacing...


Their crap when it comes to customer service...

They sell cheap crap (you get what you pay for)

...They provide lug bolts that are way too short (many people have had their Flik wheels fall off while driving -- just do a search on vwvortex)


I had to pester those idiots every day for 2 months before they finally gave me the MFGR number to contact directly on a warranty issue (a wheel that never held air)...


If I can get just one person to NOT go to Edge Racing, I'm a happy camper!

[Veedub2.0T]

have you checked www.wheelmax.com (http://www.wheelmax.com)? they have some nice nice stuff for a very decent price...

wow, I'm glad I posted this thread :badlove:

[vw Neo]

is "hyperblack" like gun metal or something different all together????

[1sikJetta]

I think hyperblack is very dark glossy black.

[BigGTI]

I have a account with wheelmax.. sometimes I can get great deals sometimes it IS as priced on the net..

[ibid]

WheelMax told me 2 months ago that they don't sell any wheels to fit over the R32 front brakes... I wonder if that is still true????

[vw Neo]

I appreciate the help, I've been checking wheelmax. I'm gonna get some shots of my car soon so maybe someone can do pshopping to help me decide. Really guys, I appreciate the help. keep the comments coming and post pics of rims that you guys like. I may spend more on the rim this time around and save some $$$ by getting Kumhos. I want something in '18, and prefer something with the classic BBS style. :)

[vw Neo]

Here are some pics of a car very similiar to mine, I think as far as color, I may need some pchop for rims ;) http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/412000-412999/412871_5_full.jpg

[Ishotthesherrif]

Tough decision. They both kinda illuminate the same look for me. So either or. I'd take Wasps

[flieger]

any reason you only want Fliks?

[Ishotthesherrif]

[QUOTE=flieger]any reason you only want Fliks?[/QUOTE]

The same reason everyone has.

They look good, have good quality and their not overpriced.
