I have an 03 DSG Lightning. I just had an offer to trade out my factory wheels for a set of 2001 factory wheels. I have always liked both styles.. What are your opinions????

Thanks, Josh

I'm the same as you, I like both styles. The 01 and 02 definitely get the most aggressive/most unique look award. The 03/04 are the smoothest and sportiest IMO. The 99/00 I don't like at all. They just make no statement to me, lol, they're too bland if you will.

That said, if I could trade my 04's for OEM 01/02's (not the imitation brand you see on ebay all the time) I think I'd do it just because I think they're equally as cool as the 03/04's, but just in a different way, and I've owned a 00 L and a 03 and 04 and I think the 01/02 rims would be refreshing to look at for a change and give a different (but just as good) look.

99/00's have more of a dish look, which is what i like. i swapped my 02's for a set of 00's.

01-02's wheels are the best looking of the OEM wheels, then the 03-04's are OK looking
and the 99-00's are just ugly :xpl: IMO.

'01 wheels give L's that aggressive look! In order of preference I'd have to pick: 01/02, 99/00, 03/04

i went from 00 to 03 rims and could not be happier. you could always powder coat them. someone on here photoshopped their dsg with black 03 rims for their sig. maybe they will post. imo it looks perfect.

I liked my '03 wheels but I wanted a second set for the race track. '99-'00 chromies from buyfordracing are the cheapest so thats what I run now. They are definitely the best "value" IMO.
