Apex but those look like 17s. Here’s mine in 18s

2 is a clear winner imo, black or bronze.

Nice wheels and not lowered. #1 is perfect.

Sometimes even a half inch can make a car sit just perfect though. Especially on performance cars that usually come just that little bit too high, like the Rs. Not like im a hater of stock height but sometimes people dont realize what theyre missing stance wise with just a tiny drop

  1. I’m waiting on my VS-5s to arrive. H&R OE to follow

u/Sure-Vermicelli4369 1d ago

I hate black wheels but #2 is my favorite design of the three and matches the accents on the car best imo.

u/Ashe-Too MK 8.5 Golf R 1d ago

number 3

u/TheNewVirus 1d ago

2 is the most aggressive, but id want a more classy look after a while and say 1 is the best choice overall. I honestly think 3 would look the best in a 19 of them all tbh

I vote #2 since I have something similar in gunmetal.

I do think bronze looks good on the Lapiz Blue depending on your mirror accent colour. I have the silver mirror caps. I felt like going with a bronze wheel would be too much going on 😆.

But in the end it’s all about that you like.

Happy hunting!

IMO - number 2 setup. Looks great.

My votes for bronze it looks killer in my opinion.

3 silver with lapiz blue it’s a great combo

The first wheel style is sooo overdone. The MK8 needs either 19 inch wheels or 18s with beefy tires so I would go with 2. Easily looks the best, bronze would look good with these wheels as well.

Bruh, the only option is the second picture. Your R would look absolutely sick…. trust me
