OEm VW Katherton wheels. Looks lush!

These are called Khartoum alloys btw, not Katherton

Fixed. Thanks AP

No problem, awesome wheels, I'd love some, particularly the graphite 18" ones

is it me or alloys don't seem to be like wow factor like the mk4 golf? i mean most rims on mk5 golf look nice but i can't see any wow factor apart from like 3 alloys i've seen.. usually I know exactly what alloys would suit a car but for my mk5 gti I have no clue so stock monza still on..mk4 golf.. stick some dish rims and they look out this world! but for the mk5 I hvn't got a clue!

Not even VW's own 19 inch Omanyt Alloys?

nah they don't look special really..i dont think the mk5 compliments nice wheels in general.. maybe some daytona deep dish might suit it.. but meh! they will look better on a mk4 always :Z

To be fair I think MK4s look sh*t on dished wheels. It's all matter taste.

not tryna create a debate own a mk5  myself ... havn't found them special alloys yet though

Mate, if you haven't found them in this thread then you're in trouble

So folks, as there are one or two wheel whore's about the place I thought it best to start a thread with pictures of all the different wheel types we have fitted to the MK5 and MK6 over the last few years.

I will start things off with most of what I've done to mine so far!  

Pescara's


Huff/Detroit Monza's



Where did u get the 19" gallardo reps from mate?





19' Gallardo Reps


Custom Painted Huffs


MK6 Monza Shadows


Smoke Chrome Monza 2's (Hope you don't mind RR)


BBS VZ Custom finish



Slightly different finish


Scirocco Interlagos Custom finish


R32 Omanyt Custom finish with polished Lip


So lets see what you've done/seen/like!  

EDIT: Also happy for people to re-post the same wheels in different finishes and on different coloured cars!
