Well I just had an Autotech suspension put on my GTI VR6. It really handles great and its been dropped over an inch. But the tires are shot, so I'm going to order new wheels and tires.

Instead of going up in price to 17", I'm going for less weight and max handling. So I'm going to stick with 16". Don't really car about the low profile look. The drop helps the looks out enough. This car is my daily driver.

Here's the car (before the suspension drop). For MkV content, my R is in the garage.


Stock wheels
Montreal 1 16"x6.5" ~19.5.lbs.

Here are the two choices I'm considering. Not sure about bending the SSRs on potholes. Plus, they are half inch wider and $100 more expensive per wheel. But for some reason I've always like them. Especially the low weight. Let me know your opinions.

OZ Chrono HT 16"x7" 15.5lbs.


SSR Type C 16"x7.5" 12lbs.
