Yes.

Try searching or look in the members rides section, should be quite a few photos of GTi's on G60 steels.

My GTi on gloss black G60 steels in Winter/Spring 2007/08...

... and on standard silver steels as it is now:

They fit with no issues whatsoever whether you be at standard height or lowered on coilovers 8)

They're either 6's or 6.5's can't remember now and are an ET35, they sit quite nicely

i think they make the gti look a bit TOO understated really. perhaps banded they'd look a bit better. IMO.

The G60 steels are 6Jx15 4x100 ET35. Personally I like how they look on the car but then I am a bit biased after owning two different sets in two years :lol:

Not sure that the BBS Solitudes will look all that great on the 6N2 shape... there was a post on the very subject back in November 2006 - here - though the pictures are no longer online as the eBay auction is so old!

Maybe someone saved the image (silver GTi on silver BBS Solitudes, standard height)?
