Default What Do You People Think of These?

<center><img src="http://www.group5motorsport.com/images/products/vr-gtp.jpg"></center><p>I can get these in 18x8 and with an offset of 37 all the way around (i.e., all four corners). The size does not seem to be a problem but does the 37 offset present any problems with my 2001 Audi TT Roadster 225 Quattro?

Thanks

Default i actually considered a set of those, to be honest.

but i wanted to see them in real life before i made the decision.

i've never seen any pics of the lips and the detailing around it to be sure how i felt about them.


fitment shouldn't be a problem...

Default Would the +37 offset bring the wheel further inward or outward?

If further inward, I would think that I would most certainly need a spacer. If further outward, then it probably would not look that bad. I'm also concerned about clearance from the brake ... if I buy a big brake kit in the future.

Thanks

Default meem approved. i've thought of doing that wheel before.

aesthetically optimal offsets for an 8 inch rim are ET19 front, ET11 rear, so you'll want roughly 20mm and 25mm spacers.
