Well, at my own peril I give those kinds of inflammatory Internet postings minimal credence and they don't really influence me, anybody can type and post anything and make it look credible. Now if several people I am familiar with tell me they all have personally had bad dealings with a vendor and lost their own money, I hear it rather loudly.
And if the wheels break and the company has gone out of business, it can happen to just about any company, I will just deal with it. Buyer beware.
Yeah I like the 3 pieced forged look with some lip. To each his own right, that is just what I like. Again these are the street wheels, it will get a set of just track wheels/tires as well.
BBS were same or cheaper but not a choice because they were not custom, for the street I wanted a perfect fit nor did I want anything redrilled. For the track I am a little more flexible will probably get some Enkeis as they are cheap.
Anyway we will see if Watercooled can come through and deliver. My money is literally on them and I hope you are all wrong. If not, you may send me a big "I told you so" if down the road I come cryin like a baby.

I mean, we told Carson to get his money back for that turbo kit and look how that turned out. It's your money, so do whatever you want but I personally don't want to support businesses like that
Give a look to www.purwheels.com
www.wheelexperts.com/projects/pur
They have wide range of wheels, and they can customize anything you want too.
I wanna get one of it but the shipping, customs, taxes costs are extremely high.
This is the one I like [emoji116]

Chris got the front calipers mounted so we could do some measuring today. Look pretty good, darn calipers are pretty big. These are from Rotorlab.
Looks nice and big [emoji108]

What spindles do you have?
CCW, Forgeline, Rotiform.... No WCI.Well I am pretty sure I have made a wheel decision for the build. Going custom 3 piece so I can get them built and drilled just for my car/brake clearance.
I think with the fifteen52 fender flares, the big red Brembos that these wheels will finish of the look nicely. I am sticking with stock color theme and look for the car down to the restoring the red smile and GTI badges. After it is up and running it will get a front air dam treatment and some work to rear spoiler but subtle.
WatercooledIND BL8 - 18x9.5 possibly 18x10 - still in the process of measuring everything. 18x9.5 - 265/35 18x10 - 295/30
Let me know what you think of these wheels on my United Grey GTI with paint matched fender flares and big red brembos behind them.

I've vote CCW. They're cheap (for a fully custom forged wheel), high quality, light, and good looking (imo). Forgelines are really great too, but they're a bit more on the expensive side. Rotiforms are made by MHT (loads of wheels are made by them), and good quality, but really expensive, and not particularly performance oriented.
Picked a couple new things for the build today. Little love for the rear suspension. I will never get this thing done if I don't stop buying stuff to install.
If you are in love with rear bushing too, then go for this kit;
KIT5239RK SuperPro Bushing Vehicle Kit - Control Arm-/Trailing Arm Bush
http://superpro.suspension.parts/kit5239rk
http://www.superpro.com.au/show-product/superpro-bushing- kit/orphan-KIT5239RK
The KIT5238RK is for street use and KIT5239RK is for track use.
I put in all poly bushings front and back a couple years ago. Made a huge diff.
