So these have always caught my eye to put on my E. Granted, this is way down the wish list compared to lots of other items but it's nice to keep dreaming about them for if and when.

I don't want or need anything bigger than 18" wheels so these ultra low profile setups will not be the target. What I do want is a 16-18" wheel with a similar look.

Anyone know of something that will work on the E like these?

I would check the pattern on those GTI wheels, if they don't match up, you might be able to get them redrilled. The only other thing I could think of is check out various wheels sites. You can filter the wheel options, so in your case 16"-18", 5 spoke. I checked www.wheelsnext.com and there were some results that were similar. There are some companies that offer a style that's more of a VIP Style wheel and in my opinion are rather dope. Good luck!

The MK5 GTI is 5x112 so no it wont work... plus those wheels have an ET of +45... not sure what the ET is needed for the E but you could check out spacers if needed and if it would fit...

they remind me of ABC Exclusive wheels... a quality JDM wheel. Do yourself a favor, if you are going to buy aftermarket wheels, do not buy crap. ;-)
Also, above mentioned is correct, you can get wheels re-drilled for a couple hundred dollars a set... good luck with your search.

If you could get an adapter that's only about 10mm thick you can run those stock wheels.

This style kinda looks a bit similar.

Then again,maybe not so much.

Those aren't bad...and the closest I saw on the first 25 pages worth of wheels on that site. Thanks for doing the legwork...have these saved for later reference.

Your welcome. I just happen to be looking at wheels and those reminded me of this thread.

 

[Eww-an E]

I ran across another somewhat similar wheel.

Speedy Sphere wheels.

Thanks again...gonna have to put you on retainer soon.

^^You're welcome.lol

 

[Eww-an E]

You guessed it,I've found another one for you. I think out of all so far,this wheel looks the closest to the VW GTI wheels.

You're right...I think these are even better. Couldn't see a price but I'm thinking these start approaching "not something to keep parked in driveway vs in garage" status.

Hang on, I'm putting together some other things to get you to look up.

I like the "grey" Dolce's, they'd look killer with Grey panels

 

[Eww-an E]

Yeah,they are probably expensive.

There's another wheel company by the name of Advanti,who makes a wheel which is an almost identical copy of that Dolce wheel. The Advanti wheel is called Concept. I don't know how much they actually cost though.

 

[Bowzer]

You're definitely nailing the look with these. Sure appreciate the sharing of effort!

Hey no problem,I just happened to notice those style wheels while browsing around the web looking at various other wheels.

For whatever reason, I'm just not turned on by the general 4-6 spoke scene so hot right now. Maybe just overkill on exposure...I'm getting more retro on taste I think with some of these altenratives. I remember many a mag wheel being sported in the 70's that seem not too bad for a theme. I guess after that I'll be looking for the old Euro "thousand/mesh spoke" stuff a couple more years down the road.

^^I gotcha,I'm still trying to narrow down a particular wheel style for my E'. So many choices.
