I vote for the Manthey's or BBS Motorsport's , Manthey's are MONEY though!

Blacked out techarts would look sick on your car though!

I wish I could see the techarts on a black car though. Not sure it contrasts well.

I just wish I could see the techarts on a black or dark blue car. I am afraid it won't look as nice as it does on the two you posted.

BTW how did you lower your car coilovers or springs? I was going to do springs for now, because they are cheap .

I really like the Ruf one piece wheels. It seems Ruf does not make 18" wheels for the TT/GT2? http://www.rufautocenter.com/parts/pdf/wheel.pdf

Kinda sucks that you can't get 8.5"/12" wheels from almost any manufacturer except Iforged. They definitely fit, and when spending all that money I want the widest fitment possible.

My second choice is the Champion RG19. http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=58

Finally, a popular option is the HRE 542R. Has a similar look to the stock turbo twist. http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=97 Iforged makes a very similar wheel and it comes in up to 9.5" / 12"

Most of the modular wheels all look too busy IMO.

Black TechArts on a black car you say, here you go....

Car belongs to forum member Andreas. People who have been here a little while will notice I always post pictures of Andreas car in threads like this.........yup I am obsessed haha. If I had to dream of how my future turbo would look, it would be a carbon copy of this beast.

You can't go wrong with Techarts, but they are a little heavy...

How bout OZ? The Superleggera III with black centers would look great on a black TT.

If you like the SSR look, then get the HRE's, I believe the cheapo SSR's
have not served the test of time (cracking, breaking, etc.).
Go to wheel enhancements website if you havent yet.
I love the Techarts but I cannot do that whole black/black/black/black/black... thing.

MK
(oh and I love my Champions (from board sponsor Wheel Enhancement),
lightweight (19's) and looking good.
