    Any form of structural warranty has these wheels? Would love a ball park figure for 19"s
    Looking at the design i reakon you'd have to be pushing 19x8.5 +35 to have anything decent but I could be wrong
    You can never call yourself a real enthusiast when you judge. When you mix the immature and mature, you get this car scene we have today. No matter what, every car is winning in their own ways. If you don't like a certain vehicle, just keep your mouth shut. No one needs to hear negative comments. Just enjoy everything.

    Hi Mark: My R36 has the VWR 6-pot BBK standard bell and the offset for these wheels will be 40. My current Work wheels on the R36 is ET35 but because of the concave, I can get away with 40.

    For the R32, I went with a 19x8.5 with a 45 offset as was recommended to try and maximise the aggression and concavity on the style of rim I chose. Then 19x235x35 rubber to try and offer some side wall rim protection.

    Ill let you know how it all works out in my bulid thread

    Are the photos are TRUE representation of the wheels.
    They have a very nice large dish. It is my understanding that it is not possible to achieve this level of dish in a wheel to suit a Mark VI golf because of the offset required.

    Be curious to see an actual photo of an 18x8 etc to suit golf "R"

    Chris:

    True representation of the wheels yes. True representation of the same wheels for a Golf, probably not. Huge dish cannot be afforded that much on Golfs unfortunately but moderate dish is still possible. I had a work wheels vs-xx on an MKV before and had 30mm dish on stock brakes. Best speak to Ramspeed and see if it can be engineered with a bit of dish if concave is chosen.

    Saw them on Thomas' BMW today. They look insanely good. Props to Ramspeed for making them and good luck for anyone getting them.
