Rim choice
« on: May 08, 2009, 06:27:30 pm »
Is anyone able to Photoshop these rims onto a red GTi or has anyone ever had a set? (DEVIL - RIVIERA 18" & DOTZ - ROADSTER 18") Or am I simply asking too much?

Theres so many rims out there and most of them can't be found locally which means I'm sort of guessing what they'll look like. Bummer!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeerz. :happy2:

Nice one mate! Those are the ones but i've seen em in a black with polished face and lip. Think they might look ok?

Ahh, I've confused matters here.

I know the owner of VW Speed, Mike, so he is the 'someone' and the link is for the ones he has for sale. They're brand spanking new and nice and light for an aftermarket wheel.

Drop him a line and tell him Mike Roberts sent you, he may well slice a little more off the price.  :happy2:

Just found this site that lets you see a range of Dotz/AEZ/Dezent/LG wheels on any car, including the Golf. Might be helpful to someone.

When I phone to check the rims fit etc what size and offsets do they need to be? wouldn't want to end up with the wrong ones!
