another option is Modulare wheels. If not the hre's and BBS' are aswome.

I don't think the 1 piece techarts are forged but the multi piece ones I believe are....

why would you want to ruin the look and handling of your tt with those pieces of junk

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand


firstly, at 10" widths, they are too narrow to take the 305 oe tires. you can go down a tire size and risk burning out your diff or have the oe tires become less responsive because the sidewalls are pitched onto narrow rims.

secondly, the offsets are not designed for wide body applications. at +63mm offset, the lm-r will sit 25mm inboard of the stock wheel location and reduce the rear track by 2". not only will it look silly ... but you will upset the handling by enhancing the oversteer tendency.

Those are beautiful - can't wait to see them on your cab. What finish - is it gloss? Did you use a specialty paint shop?

I love the GT3RS wheels on the TT but those Champion MS61's look sweet. Are they lighter than factory TT wheels? And are they available in 19x12 for the rear?
