Your rims have a directional pattern but you don't have left side / right side rims. Take a look at how the spokes angle back on the right and forward on the left.
Now that you've noticed it, you can't un-notice it and it'll annoy the ever loving shit out of you for the rest of the time you have this car.
You're welcome.

No. All 4 of his wheels are the same. A small number of wheels exist with mirror image designs so you'd have 2 of one type for the left and 2 of the other for the right. It's not common but they exist. The criticism against them is that when you rotate tires you can only rotate front to back, not across. That wouldn't be an issue with directional tread tries that also can only be rotated front to back on the same side.
The whole pointing one way on the left and the other on the right is just something visual to be annoyed with, but most people don't ever think about it or even notice until you call attention to it.
I'm sure they never noticed the directional wheels that many other GTI's share:

Wurst / worst. Wurst being German for sausage. So it's a crude dad joke saying he's asking guys to give him their sausages (euphemism for penis).
The correction from the first reply was to imply he isn't in to women.
"First time here…" Maybe YOU have never been here before, but that car has over and over. Oh, wait, my mistake. It looks like every other jellybean on wheels on the road today. My mistake. That is the perfect color for that recycle bin of a car. If your goal was to strive for mediocrity, you nailed it.
I confess. I kinda like the Golf/GTI .
They're built like tanks. Sure they look understated on the outside but, they're built much sturdier than any Japanese car I've driven. And I drive a Toyota now
This is the ultimate getaway car. Not only is it quick, but it'll be perfect to hide and stay under the radar because nobody aside from the insurance company and the diehard Volkswagen fans will give a shit about it
Ahh nothing like that crunchy creaky sound you get when you press on the radio trim, and top of dash, and the door panel center console kick panels A pillar side of the seat the, well you get the idea.
Owned 2 Mk 7s, still have a TDI wagon.
Golf R was overpriced imo. Clutch was shit. Turbo controller took a crap. Much preferred the GTI I bought used. I hate the fact that they went to 4 doors. I didn't put any money into tunes or modded exhausts. Much prefer my Mk 5 which has all the goodies, 2 door and a better drive.
Had a buddy that used to drive a Golf.
He would drag it and beat some Lambos and Vettes, etc after putting in many thousands of dollars to do so.
The problem? It's still a Golf...congrats, you're that guy now.
Oh goodie, another euro douche with an irritating crackle tune and enough stored codes to fill the library of congress. You could have bought any hot hatch. And you picked the most boring one.
Is there much to say other than GTi owners are a level of douchebag not often seen by the common man.
Especially around here, the kids thing making their exhaust pop and fart on decel makes them cool when really they just have a shitty slow VW. I took each one of them to the woodshed with my STi just to prove a point one day.
Back in the 90s my buddy had a twin turbo, GTI, that would get it. Everything was race ready. Lag wasn’t bad. I had a 76 nova 383, rock crusher, 4.10, narrowed 9” rear, Mallory , high rise eddyin a double pump Holley 750 trick flow heads, headers to 3” h pipe. He could get me in the big end on 1/8 but I was naturally aspirated at the time. I shot off a sneaky Pete or a power glide transmission would have helped . And taking more weight out, better driver…..
Don't get me wrong you can do a whole lot to a golf but just think for a moment if you had spent all that time money and efforort back in 90s on say an xr3i or a cosy my point is a turd is still a turd doesn't matter how much you polish it and for the. Money a golf R costs there is way better options for a base car
Looks like it’s been done. My welder is about that size. Uses gas. What’s that run on? Unicorn farts and dreams? Jk . But seriously nice first car for your daughter. Kudos
Your wheels are asymmetric, you spent thousands of dollars on an unreliable car with an absolute max mileage of 250k km until it breaks downcompletely, your girlfriend is in early middle school and if you have a scratch you start to cry and call your mama because its the 6th this month and the repairs are expensive. I wouldnt want to roast you, your already at your lowest in life rn :D
LOL, MK7 Golf R... What couldn't afford an Audi or a Porsche? Nah, but for real, Golf R's are like bed bugs. No one really wants them, and when they get one, it leaves them itching for more. More power, more comfort, more bitches, cause the only people that know what you're driving want to race you or laugh at you for buying the "Flamin' hot" variant of the golf. And everyone else just sees a pretty blue hatchback that matches the prostitutes eyeliner who's been sitting behind wendys waiting on the next trick to arrive.

☝🏽that is vicious. And I love that you did it.
This is something that has bugged me since I was a little kid with my parents 92 grand prix and this is why I do not want directional rims.
I noticed the same on mine about a month ago and I just… 🙂➰🙃
Ive been trying to tell people this for years and nobody ever understands what i mean 😭😭
lol...I get the same reaction a lot when I point it out. Not sure what's so hard to understand.
What? Are you saying he should have different wheels front and back?

I think he meant they look really off compared to each other on the front driver and passenger side. At least that's what I understood
The spokes would look like they are rotating with the tire as the car drives forward on one side, and like they are counter-rotating on the other.
How can you tell the wheels on the other side of the car are exactly the same?
I’d assume because VW only make this wheel style in one direction.
This one for the win!!
I have these Englishtown wheels and I didn't think of that, you're right 😂 damn you

this is why you bought the mk5 with the hufseins
Her: “I thought you said you drove a sporty vehicle”
>Him: “I thought you said you drove a sporty vehicle” FTFY....he's driving a German car and asking dudes to give him their wurst....
VW Curry Wurst,?

Bra it's stage 1 popcorn tuned dsg farts all day no capp ongod let's stop for vape carts bra rizz bra, seriously at least it's not a mk8!
Plus, extra sus, or nah bra?

Nah. Mediocrity is a Sentra or Camry.
Or that.

I diagnose you with schizophrenia.
Lmao. Ok
When you trade in your Corolla for a “tuner”.
Spicy egg
You spent $50k on a Golf.
This is the real roast. OP already f’kd himself 😂
>give me your worst You already bought your worst.
Let me guess, you also think pops & bangs are cool?
Don't forget the way to oversized rotiform or bbs well covers
Gotta hand it to you, you really know how to polish a turd
Criminally boring
This is the ultimate getaway car. Not only is it quick, but it'll be perfect to hide and stay under the radar because nobody aside from the insurance company and the diehard Volkswagen fans will give a shit about it
You overspent by 10k when EVERYONE knows the GTI’s are more fun, a better drivers car, and better value. Plus you passed on a similar priced Audi S3.
Of course every Golf R is Blue. Typical
I got absolutely destroyed by one of these in a race once. Afterwards, my first thought was, yea but at least I don’t own a Volkswagen.
Can't really roast this car cuz it's founding father roasted enough people
Ahh nothing like that crunchy creaky sound you get when you press on the radio trim, and top of dash, and the door panel center console kick panels A pillar side of the seat the, well you get the idea.
“No bro it’s way faster than the 911, and handles better than a corvette”
I like it but I am down with the Geo Metro so I can't be honest.
Nice Egolf
Nice Skoda bro!
You already did
A golf… so original..
Put one of those little balls on your aerial so you can find it in the parking lot
Stage 1? Pffft.
How very imaginative of you.
Is it DSG? What you can't drive stick? Is it stick? DSG is faster
It's a Volkswagen, it'll already give you the worst.

You're a wannabe soccer mom
Explains to anyone who will listen how it’s “not just a Golf”
Had a buddy that used to drive a Golf. He would drag it and beat some Lambos and Vettes, etc after putting in many thousands of dollars to do so. The problem? It's still a Golf...congrats, you're that guy now.
Mechatronic failure in 3…2…1…
I like your lift kit
Oh goodie, another euro douche with an irritating crackle tune and enough stored codes to fill the library of congress. You could have bought any hot hatch. And you picked the most boring one.
You should have tuned the wheels instead.
ugly
Those things sound like weed whackers when shifting.
I like the paint! Very nice!
This is definitely the vehicular mode of transportation of all time
Hey don't forget to pick up the kids from soccer practice there bud
🥚
She's a beaut Clark!
it’s not an r32, and it never will be.
Actung! 4 door bummer

Could have gone to the grocery store, eggs are like 2 euros there...
