Just wondering what people's opinions are on possible wheel choices for my car. Not 100% sure I want to change the wheels at the moment but there are some options for wheels out there that I do like.
Basically my car (Passat 1.8T) looks like this at the moment -
This is how it would look lowered kept on the standard VW 16" wheels -
Option 1:
Lowered on AMG RH Topline Style wheels -
Option 2:
Lowered on AMG Turbine wheels -
Option 3:
Lowered on Merc C63 wheels with dark insert -
Option 4:
Lowered on Merc C63 wheels, all silver -
Option 5:
All of the Merc wheels would be fitted in 18" size.
I think I am leaning towards the Turbines, but do also like the RH Topline's which could also be sourced alot easier and more cheaply than the Turbines.
Thoughts and opinions on which you prefer and any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

Any suggestions Deano? I just think the RS4 and RS6 options look tired now as they are on every VAG around. I also don't like the RS8's at all. Admittadely many VAGS now have Merc rims fitted, but not as many as you see sittin on the RS4/6's.
Or maybe you're thinking just leave standard?

I did look at some S-Line wheels Aron but not really sure they would go with the (standard look of the) car as they are designed to sit well on the Audi's with the S-Line kits. I like the wheel on the Audi S-Line range, just not sure about them on a Passat.

No idea - just don't really like the idea of Merc rims not on a Merc car
