There are plenty of options. Have you seen the wheels from Neuspeed? There's also a thread here that shows lots of different wheels.

Not sure about the offset, but these are clean and hot IMO.

:iono: 26 lbs is pretty much as heavy as the stock 17" right?? BBS is great, but the lighter the faster for the car no??the BBS RG-R is so light!!but i dun think they fit the MK5 n plus i can afford that much$$$

I'd say 26 pounds is decently heavy for a 17" wheel (though stock wheels don't tend to be light generally). The lighter the wheels the better handling and acceleration you'll have technically (because of reduced unsprung weight) but whether you'll notice it really depends on how much lighter the wheels are and what your driving style is like.

Here's some for the budget minded (poor) like myself. I think a few look good and are only 18 lbs.

[GTI2007]

they are available in 5x112 for 18" but they only have an ET of 35 so they would stick out

[bennylenny88]

stick some 18" konig Blatants on it mate!

Tirerack has one called the Rial Nogaro 17x8 for $199 that looked good.

You guys should take a look at the new OZ Ultraleggera 11.5 LBS awsome for saving every pound and gaining the most power posible.
