I've been waiting for someone to get these! I bet they look great on the gti. In for pics on the car!
LOL...they're actually for my Passat
Sweet, I was wondering what was next for you.
These look great and have great specs! Being TSW it's a nice blend of quality and price, too. Look forward to seeing them on the car and what your impressions are.
They're the same weight as the TSW Interlagos I had (and sold), but those were only 18x8, ET45
So these will fit perfectly (no spacers needed) is the only difference. And the look is different too, obviously
Those look clean. In the first picture I thought the wheels were gloss pearl white with the edges of the spokes machined......
They do look like that in the pics, but they're Machined face/Silver....I kinda wish they were white to match my car though
How much did the TSW go for if you don't mind me asking?
I'm not gonna lie....I got hooked up on the price from my guy at the local Discount Tire
Pricing wasn't out when I ordered them, since they were a new release, so he just charged me the same price I paid for my TSW Interlagos (another rotary forged wheel), which was like $225/each
$1000 total "out the door" for the 4 wheels, tires mounted/balanced, lug bolts, the hub rings, & 6% sales tax.
(shipping was free from TSW too)
And then, on top of that, they had a $100 rebate for buying a set of wheels on one of the weekends...so I prepaid them in advance to get the rebate....so $900 total
But these will probably be around $1150-1200 for the wheels alone from most retailers (similar to the price of Nurburgrings)
I had the new tires already (got for cheap)....General Gmax's which are the lightest tire I could find in my size of 235/45/18 @ only 22.3lbs:
Wheel/tire combo weighs in at 41.4lbs:
