I had some challengers on my Gti, everybody thought they were vortex's and I had a fair few pics on here of them, same size tyre for both aswell, if your just after them purely for looks then go for it, I think the vortex's are lighter and that's it apart from the centre caps, here's what mine looked like

Challengers 6.5J
Vortex 7J
Apart from that and the center caps... meh challengers would look just as good.

I knew I'd missed something, the challengers are slightly slimmer, both alloys take 205/40/17 though
