2015 Si wheels copied by VW?....

[ZeroTX]

Anyone else notice that the design is virtually the same? I think the wheel and tire size is also the same. I know, it's not really a revolutionary design, but i thought it odd that both of these cars came on the market at virtually the same time with wheels that are almost the same.... and I did look up close and see that the tire size is also the same (that's good news for us 2014 owners, as more common tires = cheaper tires).

BTW, I like the Bridgestone tires on the GTI a lot better.... nice rim protection and less "busy" looking.... Performance-wise, I dunno.

I wouldn't really say so. They are both similar, but not quite.

I think Chrysler copied the 2012 Si wheels though.

I'd also like to say the MK7 GTI was shown and revealed before the 14 Si's were, so if anything honda copied VW

I agree with @Chattownstunna they both kinda cave in towards the center the same. I feel Honda just added a slight twist to the spokes then added the groove.

I agree, and VW executed on the design way better than Honda. Sadly, the 2014 Si rims look terrible.

Anybody know the weight of the new civic si wheels must be heavy and I wonder if it makes the car slower then a 13 si

Since we're talking about vdubs why does my girls 2005 2.0 jetta have a harder hitting stock sound system that my si. I'm a long time die hard Honda guy, and I've come to accept that hondas sound systems kinda sucks. but it's 2014 honda, come on and step up already. I still love my civic though.
