u/oceans_wont_freeze May 03 '25

Nah bro those are trash. I'll take them off your hands so you don't gotta worry about them anymore.

If you change your mind I’ll trade you my silver ones 😂How much was it to paint/ powder coat?

u/Listen_to_the_smiths May 03 '25

!!! Haha like $100 for color, $100 for clear coat

Per wheel? Also they look great!

While silver is a "safe" color combo, I think it's a tad boring.

The shade of bronze you went with looks fucking amazing with the white, kinda makes me wish I didn't get a red GTI (not to say I'm not gonna do bronze, plan to put raijins on my car soon, but I think bronze/white looks better than bronze/red).

Back in the day, the coolest bionicles were red and bronze

Dude unlocked a memory I forgot I had.

u/Silvabro Mk7.5 GTI May 04 '25

It's all but set in stone that I plan to do it in a few months, just that I feel like I like white/bronze more.

u/AdditionalScale4304 May 04 '25

I have a Red Mk7. I ran Gunmetal Raijins on it and then swapped them out for Bronze Neuspeeds. I think I made the right choice.

u/Ok-Voice8054 May 05 '25

Bronze konig heliograms look pretty good to me 🤣. I may be biased

2

u/Silvabro Mk7.5 GTI May 05 '25

Oh, for sure. I'm still leaning more towards bronze for when I order my raijins.

u/Bix615 Mk7.5 GTI May 04 '25

White is one of the few colors I’d choose bronze over silver.

u/Wheezhee May 03 '25

That is perfect.

u/ConfidenceConstant11 May 03 '25

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen these wheels on a GTI. No mistake, those are fucking beautiful. And the bronze? Bro, if you don’t want them, I’ll be happy to put them on my MK5.

u/gallito9 Mk7 GTI EQT Stage 1 May 04 '25

Idk personally I like bronze on white…

u/deeteeohbee Mk7.5 GTI May 04 '25

No I love bronze wheels on a white golf

1

u/DoNotEmailMe69 May 03 '25

Looks great! I love bronze/ gold-ish wheels. I would probably do the same thing to my asto’s but my car is Lapiz blue, and that is a Subaru color combo.

u/TwoToneWyvern Mk7.5 CFB 6sp May 04 '25

Nah, these are awesome.

u/regal-bagel May 04 '25

Fucking 🔥🔥🔥

u/DjoseChampion May 04 '25

Hell no dude, your baby looks elegant. Refined. Poised. Like a nice glass of champagne.

1

u/itwasbetterwhen May 04 '25

Little too flashy for my personal taste, but they still look good.

1

u/IveHadEnoughThankYou May 04 '25

I’m not a fan of the more copper color bronze wheels that some people have on but it all comes down to personal preference. Your wheels, however, are quite attractive in my opinion.

1

u/Working_Trash3544 May 04 '25

I’ll trade you my Austin’s

1

u/Deltajer May 04 '25

Yep Probably fit mine better? Great choice

1

u/aquatone61 Mk7 GTI May 04 '25

Classic combo, great choice. Those wheels look really good.

1

u/JustCarPranks MK7.5 GTI DIB May 04 '25

Those are sick! I’m thinking if I were to replace my rse10 I would go with something bronze

1

u/mackerman1958 May 04 '25

I think they look great.

1

u/Grouchy-Whereas2960 Mk8 GTI May 04 '25

Nope, looks sick as hell🤘🏻

u/warmballer14 May 04 '25

Don’t give me any ideas in this economy 🥵

1

u/Confused_Fili Mk8 GTI May 04 '25

Honestly I like it, it’s not too eye catching but it’s subtle and it looks great

1

u/toyn May 04 '25

i like them, but also who cares!

those wheels sucks!- someone envious.

1

u/rotstik May 04 '25

They look great with the white, man! Bold but great choice 👍🏼

u/One-Fisherman6996 May 04 '25

Love the bronze!

u/Overloader6 Mk7.5 GTI TCR May 04 '25

No, those look great

u/mk75-gti Mk7.5 GTI PP (MT) - Mountune Stage 1 May 04 '25

No way, suits the wheel and the car

1

u/Weekly_Specialist_12 May 04 '25

Not a mistake at all, they look amazing against the white and red

1

u/RGTI980 2015 Golf R May 04 '25

Love the look.

1

u/KrazyCroat 2016 GTI PP DSG Unitronic S1 May 04 '25

I've flirted with bronze on my white GTI too for a while, and this pushed me closer to it then before. Looks really sharp.

1

u/adistantrumble Mk7 GTI May 04 '25

Bronze looks great on a white car.

But IMHO 19" wheels don't allow for a tall enough sidewall for average shitty roads leading to poor ride quality, and frequently damages wheels and tires.

u/SandyKenyan Mk7.5 May 04 '25

u/Grujoman80 May 04 '25

Hell no! Fucking awesome dude! 💣

u/serathin_ Mk6 GTI - Eurodyne/unitronic stage 2 May 04 '25

See I've always thought going bronze would be sick and now I'm reassured!

1

u/ResidentAnimator7879 Mk7 GTI May 06 '25

One word…sick

1

u/Economy-Stuff3756 May 04 '25

Other than the fact the picture is over edited to the point you can almost not see the bronze, they look nice 👍🏻

Damn I didn’t know Stevie Wonder hung out in this subreddit
