Enkei makes a somewhat similar wheel.

RAIJIN | Enkei Wheels

With Enkei, at least you'd know you're getting a quality wheel from a manufacturer that supplies OEM's, and not from a company that produces nothing but knockoff designs.

Do yourself a favor, ditch APR and go Unitronic, this is coming from a former MK6 GTI owner. You'll be much happier. Go with a Beluga DP, Audi R8 ignition coils, a Unitronic stage 2 tune and you'll be making plenty of power. My MK6 stage 2 Uni was waxing the Coyotes down the track.

Watch out for issues with the mech unit in the transmission, they like to take a dump. The VW's don't like aftermarket LED's either.

Fun cars but be ready for that German engineering, it's a curse and a blessing.

Mine has 2 intercoolers on each side of the car...where are/is the intercooler(s) on the GTI?

Another reason for the test pipe ..doesn't get nearly as hot under the hood without that cat. One nice thing about Florida...no smog checks.

The potential of these cars is unreal. This was mine going up against a 07 Mustang GT.

Later on I ran a coyote and also ran quicker.

BTW, If you want to know a trick. Turn off ESP, foot on brake, then while your foot is still on the brake after a couple seconds mash the throttle. Launch control engaged. Let off the brake and off you go.
