My endless search for a 19" wheel to fit my Mk5 has finally reached a (sort of) conclusion, I'm torn between 4 designs, the LM style in silver, the LM stye in black with polished rim, the VMR style in silver & the Dare 5 spoke style.

I would of added Worx wheels but they are a little bit too expensive to get ruined on the pot holes round my way!!!!

My car is black, just after some opinions on what style people think I should go for?

Was looking for a poll but for some reason I couldn't find the option to add one!!

I've looked on the colours thread and yes i've seen the black mk5 on LM's (currently my no1 choice) but i would appreciate some opinions (and even some new ideas if anyone has any??)

Finally ....please be nice  :grin:

Black on black with silver lip  :happy2:.

Black on silver is a safe option so either way your a winner.

LMs style would look cool in 19's or even the lovely CH's in 19"  :drool:

Thanks guys, I'm really attracted to the CKs (can't believe I said CH...tut tut, saw them on joesgti MK5 and fell in love, but also I love the Jade R style, but i'm unsure if they really suit the MK5????   So far I'm thinking that the mesh style (LM,WORKS) works best  closely followed by VMR, but I aint seen many Jade R style wheels on a MK5 so i'm thinking ....could be something a bit different?????????

TBH I think the JadeR in 19" would look awesome!
They are a great looking wheel, it's just a shame the mk5 needs such a high offset because with a low offset they look even better.

How much were u thinking of spending on the JadeR?
There are some really nice privat wheels for around the same money.

I'll try and find the link  :happy2:

Hmmm I think the Privat legende wheels might be a bit more than the JadeR :ashamed:

I'm in 2 minds about the spoked Jade Rs and the like, I'm not sure if a spoked wheel suits the MK5 or not, the LMs & CKs deffo suit the car but really i'd like something different, but not so different that they don't suit the car. Hence why I still aint got a set of new wheels yet........... :signLOL:

Think I really need to get a copy of photoshop and get busy........... :ashamed:

I'm liking those Jade R alloys, they're like Karthoum's but in 19's. Good choice IMO.
