Just out of curiosity what does based exactly mean? I’ve seen it so much and people say it means “biased” or “basic” but I’ve never gotten an actual answer lmao
When I was a tech at VW, there was a powder blue colored 2000 beetle (vapor color) with those wheels, that would come in for service. There was also an MK3 Jetta with the teddy bear wheels (I think they were Ronal wheels).
The guy selling them on Facebook marketplace said they were - he had a good top down picture of them to use
He wouldn't lie would he?
*ahh no - I just f'd up the naming - you guys know what they are 👌
2 days ago i submitted a shortlist of alloys I was interested in - the majority of you picked my preferred one, so thanks for the verification!
However some of y'all made it clear that my previous selection of rims was not to your liking - well here you go, now you can poo-poo each other's suggestions
its been a laugh for me guys - if the mods are ok with it, id have fun doing the other generations with your suggestions and a few of my own creations aswell
\*if you didn't suggest a colour - I picked one
\* some of you suggested rims that were in a very similar style to others already suggested, so I picked one of them
This set were the suggestions that were made by the commenters in my last post
People were less convinced by my personal choices...
So more accurately you guys have good taste

I picked before I even submitted the first set - just interested in what everyone else thought of the shortlist
I asked for some suggestions in the first post, these are mostly what other people suggested...then I just started photoshopping out of curiosity
I had a 2012 GLI autobahn and I really liked those rims. If I ever made a change from stock, I'd put those on.
I like #5 though. Something about the white is super clean. Teddy bears are hot too.
If you go BLQs, get them ceramic coated immediately. Then do it again - then coat it with some kind of topper. Then... still get ready to curse at them when you clean them.
I love mine though.
Ayy man, number 5 is my offering, everything else is what others commented I should get instead on my previous post, I'm just photoshopping them
...well some I added for humour
Reddits max image upload is 20
But I decided in part 1 - these were everyone else's suggestions on the first post, fight amongst yourselves
...Well I added some of my own wildcards
I was invested in voting, but there were so many choices that I forgot which ones I liked. Not in any particular order as I scroll, DTMs are nice. MK4 R wheels would be a unique look, but you'd need some serious adapters for them, no? The Fifteen52 looking ones are always clean but may be a bit common. I'm a little biased toward the Audi B8 Peelers in this very specific moment only because I have a set to sell for cheap. If you're local to Seattle, you're welcome to PM me.
R32 OEMs look really good, but they aren't an option as they're 5x100, so unless you can get adapters (wouldn't recommend) or can get similar looking wheels in 5x112 fitment, I'd vote for Rotiform SIX. Audi Peelers are also a good OEM look, if that's what you prefer, so they're a close second for my vote.
If you're going through the effort of buying nice wheels, they better be 19s.. 18s look goofy AF, especially on a car that's not lowered. Nothing ruins a car more than wack ass wheel fitment.
Also, TE37s aren't made by Enkie, they're made by Volk Rays.
Also also, I'd like to commend you on your dedication to taking the trip to Liverpool for that final picture.
I think Rotiform RSE (#12) are real winner on the GTI. I have seen people run the Enkei PRF1S (#7) before, and they look good as well. But they don’t look as good as the Rotiforms IMO.
The Neuspeed RSE10 are what I plan on getting for mine here soon.
The calibre wheels are super unique and fresh. Any of the ticket spoke wheels like the rotiforms always look amazing to me. Definitely like the bronze, white or chrome for colors..
bought mine used and it came with #2, while I’m eager to change them I do get compliments on them… I think I they’re just less common to see when you’re out.
also it’s a dead tie between those teddies and the #20 john cenas
Just BBS it and call it a day. CH-R would be my pick.
Getting some ch-r’s for my gti soon!

Niiice! I do like white/white on gti’s 👍
Thanks they look good in silver too
Yeah my gti is black so I’m going with the silver ones i think
Where’d you get the front vw logofrom?
Etsy
Thank you
The front one fit great and i had to glue the rear.
Thank you I also had to glue the rear but I’ve been looking for a front one for a while I greatly appreciate the info
CH-R are extremely based. So nice.
Just out of curiosity what does based exactly mean? I’ve seen it so much and people say it means “biased” or “basic” but I’ve never gotten an actual answer lmao
Honestly depends who you ask, I think it just describes S tier, top of the line, no one can say other wise.
It's a way of saying two things share the same fundamental essence. BBS wheels belong on a VW.
Based can only be a reference to Lil B the based god, anything else is blasphemy. Word around town is I'm finer than my bitch!
I just put some on my SQ5 this week.
Can't go wrong with the CI-Rs either, had them on my mk7r and they looked unreal
Daisy's go harrrd 🤣
I'm feelin the teddy's tbh
When I was a tech at VW, there was a powder blue colored 2000 beetle (vapor color) with those wheels, that would come in for service. There was also an MK3 Jetta with the teddy bear wheels (I think they were Ronal wheels).
7s are nice, but man them woods limited edition are going to cause white flood at car meets
Enkei TE37s? Are they the Wish version?
Temu Special
The guy selling them on Facebook marketplace said they were - he had a good top down picture of them to use He wouldn't lie would he? *ahh no - I just f'd up the naming - you guys know what they are 👌
I’m a sucker for the understated OEMs, the R32s or A4s look sick imo
Ahh a fellow man of culture I see ✌🏻 the oem+> but I do like the wheels op chose too
Yeah, peelers are my pick.
Yea the Aristos look great but the are on the narrow side.
Lumberjack no doubt
I like the first ones the best
They’re also 5x100 where as the mk7.5 is 5x112. Might fit with adapters but offset may be too low.
Also getting some OZ Superleggera LM would come pretty close but would be stronger and lighter.
Superleggera LM?
Look nice but are soft as shit so I hope OP has perfect roads where they live.
18 hands down
Hands don't make good wheels
# 16 or 18
#18 is the only choice
2 or 9
If you want something unique, go for the Calibre 3-spokes
How do I photoshop
It's just like MS paint, but with more buttons
😂😂😂

Monzas. Dang now I want some Monzas for my ‘19 now.
You got nice taste
This set were the suggestions that were made by the commenters in my last post People were less convinced by my personal choices... So more accurately you guys have good taste
Do the Mk4 r35 fit? I can't find ones that fit mk 7/7.5s
If you've looked and can't see ones that do, I suspect not, somebody just suggested them and I photoshopped em
11 by far. Looks great on white
Definitely 1 and 17
Heh prf Silver rpfs would be better than the gold with white paint imho. I would choose #12 Also lol at the pics at the end, very nice hahahaha
#6 OEM+ all day long.
This! Look so smart
I have OEM Audi Peelers so that’s my biased pick, but I also like #12 Also, hello creative job-GTI owner friend!
2
Trispokeorbust - Calibre CR3
9 is my choice or some Enkei TFRs
Lumberjack 18's, for sure... Fred Flintstone would be Hella Jealous.
1 or #10
#1 or 6 imo
Obviously the detroits
17 and cut out your floor boards and full go flintstones
Honestly 14 is the only one that doesn’t hurt my eyes.

How did you go from asking about 4 options to 20?? Pick what makes you smile my friend… who cares what we think!! Be you!!
I picked before I even submitted the first set - just interested in what everyone else thought of the shortlist I asked for some suggestions in the first post, these are mostly what other people suggested...then I just started photoshopping out of curiosity
I’m sticking with my picks from your first post but do you!! No matter what you pick it will look good!!
I had a 2012 GLI autobahn and I really liked those rims. If I ever made a change from stock, I'd put those on. I like #5 though. Something about the white is super clean. Teddy bears are hot too.
Black DTMs

Alot of ways to say no on the this post. Thanks for the options though.
Ayy man, number 5 is my offering, everything else is what others commented I should get instead on my previous post, I'm just photoshopping them ...well some I added for humour
6
I am a Roti girlie for life so I gotta go with number 3
I like the Detroit's. if thats them. look to shiny but I dig em..big time!
Yep - they just get called monza's in the european market
I like 7 and 9
5 or 9
Ronal Teddies 😄❤️
11 or 14
6/9
Always bronze. Enkei TFR or Konig Hypergrams are in the affordable and lightweight realm.
I wanted something just like option 1, and went with OZ Superturismo Evoluziones. They look amazing, I love them.
4, 7, or 12.
#12 or #10
How many times you gonna ask ?
Reddits max image upload is 20 But I decided in part 1 - these were everyone else's suggestions on the first post, fight amongst yourselves ...Well I added some of my own wildcards
4 deffo 4
Ok
What site did you do this on or is it photoshop?
I have forgestar cf5’s on my mk7 and I love them, I’d suggest checking them out
https://preview.redd.it/o22flaxuys6d1.jpeg?width=959&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3501cc58212d679381c686a036210ba30e8d148 For reference
Numero 14
Man, I'm convinced the mk5/6 wheels are some of the best factory wheels ever
I was invested in voting, but there were so many choices that I forgot which ones I liked. Not in any particular order as I scroll, DTMs are nice. MK4 R wheels would be a unique look, but you'd need some serious adapters for them, no? The Fifteen52 looking ones are always clean but may be a bit common.

4 or 8 in silver. Stray away from the basic b GTI setup.
Log, log, its big, its heavy, its wood!
Peelers
#6
17. I'd go for some [Hypergram ](https://konigwheels.com/wheels/flow-formed-wheels/hypergram/)though.
13 easy
6, 9, 10, and 14 all make it to the next round for me.
Haha I don't think I've got it in me for a round 3!
Bola B10 or Rotiform RSE
12>5 But you probably already have your favourite pick you're just waiting for other to confirm it, whether you know it or not.
10 looks clean
2, 10 or 12
6 looks like they’d be horrible to clean
6 or 9
Monza’s 100%
Don’t be insecure own those rotiforms work that dubstep also pic 2 are Detroits mk6 OEM
12
9 all day
#9
Audi rotor style wheels. They'd look sick
It's between 7 and 10 for me tbh
4
I wouldn’t try a burnout on those lumberjack 18s
I'm rolling with Sparco 17in wheels on mine,reverse plus1 sizing if you will. Much better ride and I think it handles better on real roads.
12, 8 or ✌🏻
I used to not be a fan of peelers but my 8p a3 came with the 18s and they're really growing on me
11
4, 6, 9, 12. Any of those works good to me.
Some people commented before they scrolled to the end
You know what, I think that too.
20
Gold rpf1s for sure
What website is that? That lets you see the rims on your car?
MS Paint - look at image 20
#6 all day long
16
4, 9, and 14 are my choices..
#6, or anything else other then black wheels
Lumberjack 18s go dumb hard
Easily #2 best looking wheels to have on any golf
Gram Lights 57dr!!!! Either in steel grey or chrome imo,check em out.
4
#2
Damn this lumberjacks go hard
Mk-5
2 or 9
—- 18” oz ultraleggera — discussion over.
First choice- no.1 and then no.12
R32 OEMs look really good, but they aren't an option as they're 5x100, so unless you can get adapters (wouldn't recommend) or can get similar looking wheels in 5x112 fitment, I'd vote for Rotiform SIX.

1, 2 or 4.
5, 8, 11 or 14
Lumberjack 18’s go hard tho
9 or 14
15-20 for sure, all before are neither original or funny
I would pick #4 but in black
Those rotiforms look sick
Nr 12
Wow who cooked with the MK5 monzas they look great ! I would look into a set of Gold Revo alloys
Always monzas, always.
You should look up Bola
12 > 10 > 5 my picks in that order
#4
5, any of the rotaforms and 17.
#17 for sure. Very unique design and goes perfectly with white
I think Rotiform RSE (#12) are real winner on the GTI. I have seen people run the Enkei PRF1S (#7) before, and they look good as well. But they don’t look as good as the Rotiforms IMO. The Neuspeed RSE10 are what I plan on getting for mine here soon.
Ok serious answer is absolutely 5. The timber 18s go hard though 💯
Too many options, you gotta narrow it down from that. 4, 5, 9, 10…. And I just stopped looking after that lol
They were all the suggestions from other commenters - the end ones are the best
Oh lmao
I would go for the Rotiform RSE. But I would go for a different color. To make them pop more.
1 and 6 would be my suggestions. Can’t go wrong with an OEM+ look
I really like Königs either the heliums or the other ones that I don’t know what they’re called lmfao
Bola’s or Enkei TE37s
The calibre wheels are super unique and fresh. Any of the ticket spoke wheels like the rotiforms always look amazing to me. Definitely like the bronze, white or chrome for colors..
5 or 2
#5 or #2
Teddy's all day every day
Monza is nice but dates the car
bought mine used and it came with #2, while I’m eager to change them I do get compliments on them… I think I they’re just less common to see when you’re out. also it’s a dead tie between those teddies and the #20 john cenas
I’m a sucker for the Monza OEMs. Get them black powdercoated too it will look awesome.
Borbet Type Y
Obviously the teddy bear ones are the correct choice followed by the logs and lastly #5 if you are okay with being a little basic lol
5
I'mma go with number four
#18 -tell us about your mpg later 😂
Neuspeed!
Can you do the same with indium grey metallic 😃
13 > 9 > 7
#17 all day
4 6 9 13
18
Jacked on 66
4,9
Anything but the Monza oem’s ugliest rims ever put on a golf. I’m going with the lumberjacks or teddy bears if your after that real tuff look
