That's way different tho. Every place on the planet requires a rear plate so automakers design cars rear ends for them. A front plate screws up the aesthetics and efficiency of almost every vehicle they're mounted on
My last two cars were screws directly into the bumper. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Congrats on the cars though.
Leather, so there isn't any plaid interior, and a different set of wheels that don't look horrible, should be the only way to rock a GTI, imo.
I'm digging the green, and had the Alltrack been faster I'd be rocking a VW.
But yeah, GTI wheels have always been fugly IMO

I don’t think so, I think the Golf R has a different grill pattern. I took a look at the OEM one tonight and I think my 3M tape method will be just fine, I ordered some on Amazon and I’ll install it after I polish and seal the paint this weekend.

The OEM Laguna wheels are the only nice looking set I have ever seen a GTI come with.

I like the OE Serron's on the MK6 and the Pretoria's on the MK7 Golf R.
The serron's even look pretty good on the MK7's. Not a bad choice for a cheap spare setup.

I liked the Austin wheels on Zach's car a lot and the Detroits that used to come on the MKV and MKVI. I'm not really feeling the ones that come on the facelift, but I might be planning a fix for that later this year. 
EDIT: Oh and I finally figured out how to use "Park Assist", it can be used to steer you into either a parallel space or a perpendicular space, and also steer you out of a parallel space. Not a gadget I'm going to use often but I'll keep tinkering with it since I have it. It could be handy to help identify a parallel spot i can fit into on a busy street.

Not OE, but these are my favorite wheels I've seen for the MK7 so far:

^ Yes those are lovely.
I also tested the Limits of Lane Assist this morning. It actually followed the curve of the road for about a minute on 28 this morning, much better than I expected. It held on for about a minute before throwing up a warning message begging me to take over control again.

I knew about the new R wheels. Guys are throwing them on All tracks and they look great.
Didn't know half the other wheels existed. 90% of the GTIs I see either have those wineglass wheels (2007?) or the ugly ninja star (2016?) looking ones...

Slam it on tarmacs and daily it?
Seriously considering joining the bandwagon whenever the forester sells since its probably the smartest decision with my options and I've always wanted to be like Taylor.

Aw shucks, Ryan (The good Ryan).
I like my wheels. Zach and I were comparing, and mine are much... Sharper? Not sure how to describe it. ![[Image: b2667c4d3dd3fd41b002cdf7432e311d.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180301/b2667c4d3dd3fd41b002cdf7432e311d.jpg) ![[Image: ab9f9799ae06b549e1001cdbc3321dcb.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180301/ab9f9799ae06b549e1001cdbc3321dcb.jpg)
