The ultimate Mk2 wheel whore thread

[Brimma]

Itchy feet again, so just had to have a hunt round to see what I could find

Why do all manufacturers not have configurator pages to help you see what the wheels will look like before you part with your readies?

Here's a few examples, but feel free to post up any others you might come across

MAM 10 - I quite like the minimalist approach on this one

I like the MAM11 or mums for short

[Brimma]

Dotz Exile

[VRSerious]

Defiantly the MAM 11

[rob_e]

None of the above.

[magic62]

The MAM11 looks too much like the audi wheel or the porsche turbo wheel. (and are probably a lot of work to keep clean).

The MAM10 is too skinny, like spiders legs.

Keskin looks good, old school

(my all time favorites are the CHs or CKs in 19")

[Gizmo]

Even comes with your initial in the centre cap

Brenda?

How about the classic JPS look

Like those Brimma, eh Bentley wheels, problem is they weigh far too much.

[fluffmeister]

The Bentley wheels are a bit to heavy on the eye for a car like a Mk2 Octy, they are best suited to Bentley's or indeed can be carried off quite well on a Superb.

I think the Octy needs something that looks a little more minimalist.

[magic62]

+1

They would look stunning on a new Superb

Octi needs sportier wheels. :yes:

I'll just leave this here...

[Wardy]

MAM 11, maybe. Dotz Exile, maybe.

Don't think either quite hit the mark though. Not convinced by any Comps Bry?

I appreciate it's a tricky decision to make, without seeing the real wheels on a real car. They configurator images don't exactly look like yours after all....

[Wardy]

I know these aren't on Octys, but....

Helios. Think these look amazing and should suit, but probably fairly heavy:

MO6: all-time great!

Same as above, but think the 6-spoke design suits the Octy a bit better:

Another comp option. Quite similar in design to the Turini: (sorry, couldn't find a suitable VAG vehicle pic!)

[Wardy]

Thinking about the last option, the MVS is probably quite similar to the Pro Races you had on previously? So you maybe don't want to re-visit that look?

[Nick P]

Agreed. Helios's are seriously classy and REALLY suit the octy.

[Brimma]

Agreed. Helios's are seriously classy and REALLY suit the octy.

And are unfortunately very very expensive, even secondhand :'(

[Wardy]

They're a rare old wheel, I'll give you that. Generally because they look so right on quite a number of the VAG stable, so rarely come up for sale! Those that have them want to keep them

I still have hankerings after the vmr:

.. in 19", gunmetal.

[Wardy]

Those look pretty hot, I'll give you that!

With that colour, size and ride height = WIN.

[M12MKD]

I like the VMR posted by rob! Suit the Octi

[Wardy]

Is that a 'shop Rob? Or a real Octy with those wheels actually fitted in the pic?

[oobster]

Those alloys above are BY FAR the best ones on this thread.

Where might I enquire as to the cost of said 'vmr' alloys?
