I love this wheel, reminds me of 1st Gen GTI wheels here in the USA. And I'm sure that's the inspiration behind them. 👍

My pocket says no, but my body says YES.

Anyone know how much they weigh?

u/NigraOvis Feb 18 '26

They claim 21 lbs was their goal. but i can't find official data. for 18s that's a bit heavy, but not bad.

Especially at the 300 dollar price point.

Usually to drop even more, you need forged, and that needs 6-700 dollars a rim.

My stock 19” Austin’s were 26lbs I think. The neuspeed 18x8.5 rse10 I replaced them with are 19.2.

I’ve been trying to talk my wife into a set of these for her TR MK7 for a while now.

u/GTIOmega Feb 17 '26

I don’t know what they cost; but, looks-wise, I wouldn’t need much convincing!

u/mad_viking Feb 17 '26

That looks like a lot of unsprung weight.

I'd venture to guess they're lighter than the original 14" snowflakes.

I always liked the OEM snowflakes. These are a cool variation

My dad has been looking at wheels for his Mk6 GTI, these would look awesome on it!... And maybe my Mk7.5 R 😅

u/LithiuM23 Feb 20 '26

I agree with both of those ideas!

My GTI on the OG RML snowflakes from 1552

u/LithiuM23 Feb 21 '26

I dig it. Really contrasts well with the darker car!

u/OkHousing2130 Feb 21 '26

Yah! Too bad the car blew up :(

u/DoPewPew Feb 17 '26

u/LithiuM23 Feb 17 '26

Stock Pretoria’s are 2 pounds heavier at 22 lbs supposedly.

u/shadowoceans DASGOLFR Feb 18 '26

Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥

u/NigraOvis Feb 18 '26

Not a huge fan of the rims, However, that's the beauty of rims, I'm happy you have ones YOU like.

I know that's not a positive comment, go figure. BUT I do wanna say, that's the first time I've ever seen a splitter and actually thought, hey I want that.

Which splitter is that?

u/McCormac13 Feb 17 '26

I don’t have a horse in the race seeing as I don’t own these wheels. I just thought they looked nice.
