....I assume you guys have something particular in mind?

I'm open to suggestions but they need to be lightweight and therefore contribute what Chris is raving about.

Nothing particular in mind, but don't believe these are right style of wheel for Robin's car that's all.

I think Candy Turbo's suggestion is the right one TBH.

nothing particular in mind either.
The TD is a great wheel but very common now.  they cannot be beaten for weight vs cost  :happy2:
maybe if you could get them in 18's (but that negates the weight improvement...)
there are limited options for a) cost b) weight, I think hurdy has gone thru them all  :signLOL:

lead dont follow  :happy2:
photoshop your car and try out some designs  :happy2:

Yeah true they are getting common. The precise reason that I bought them is ^^^ cannot be beaten for weight vs. cost.

What do you mean 'maybe if you could get them in 18's? Because they are in 18s?  :confused:

Ahh fair enough! Yeah, with the actual rim being so thick they do look smaller than they really are from photos!

They only go up to 18's!

Team Dynamics do some other really nice wheels, see here:

The TD 1 is nice!

For me there was only one choice robin and as soon as you looked at them on mine the other day I could see the cogs turning in your head  :P  and best thing for me was I got mine brand new from them for under £420 as I know a parts dealer who's husband work for team dynamics and said no one can beat me on price lol so I had to have em lol and have dome more waiting for a member on here  :grin:

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

....

Some great ideas posted but I think CandyTurbo is right to suggest the OZ one he posted a pic of as the most stylish. But I think he's wrong to think that the red stripe TD's look "max power" - Common perhaps but not max power.

For me this isn't about which wheel would look best on my car - I love the wheels I've got and they are true to the GTI as 'telephone dials' (just altered!). It's about a wheel which is much lighter in weight - Not to jonnyc standards, but to further improve the feel of the drive - As Chris describes in his build thread.

I like the deep dish Sportec too but I don't know how lightweight they are.

:happy2:

Function over form - get the TDs. You just can't argue with what you get for the money, flat black would be my choice on your car to key in with the carbon theme.

If you want some style to go with the weight reduction, invest in something a little cheekier like the OZs, Speedlines, Compomotive MOs (great looking wheel on a MK5)... or try searching out something a little more 'special'.
Sideways yo!
