I’m looking for some strong wheels to buy I have a 2015 gti with a 10cm wide body kit and I need some rims
4” per side widened? which kit, got pics?

strong with a budget - anything flowformed

strong without budget - fully forged wheels

Man I dunno. I think it’s gonna depend on the flow formed brand. Some companies just have way better standards. I’d pick a flow formed motegi over an apr. and I’d pick a flow formed NEUSPEED over a motegi

Neuspeed has handled just as good as my MK 6 Gti BBS. The MK 7 Gti stock wheels cracked on the same roads.

Motegi over APR? Do explain why?!

You’d be quite surprised with how many owners have had nuespeed flow formed wheels bent...

Turbo. Blue.
Freak circumstances caused this and it was like nailing a curb at 50mph. Actually pretty surprised the damage wasn't much worse.

Holy shit. If they were anything else they probably would’ve folded LOL.

flow formed isn’t a proper replacement for forged. Obviously. They’re stronger than casted but flow formed isn’t as strong as forged. I’d say flow formed isn’t even half way between casted and forged. But something is something

big fan of my flow formed APR's, but at a certain point it boils down to aesthetics.

I think it’s better left at “it’s my money and no one will tell me what to do with it”

because frankly. That’s the truth
