I don't understand.
Did you just get rep's of the Mk7 GTI wheels?

They look good - i like it. Good to see VW have finally gone away from the circle spokes which i never liked.

The circle spokes looked too much like the weird obsession Alfa had with putting circles in the wheel designs from the 2000's.

I recently fitted the same wheels to my CSG 3 door. Did you get them from Advance in Richmond?

[jayce_6]

yeah i think it was yours that i saw and thought it looked really good. just could never find the pic again haha.

nah i got it from a mate that sourced them for me, he works at goodyear autocare in essendon.

paid $760 fitted for all 4. how much did they set you back at richmond?

Why does it look like they should be going the other way?

Are all four wheels identical or do two have the lobes going one way and two the other? Don't know why this occurred to me.

Matters not but interested in what the case is here. I'm assuming all four are the same therefore the left side turning opposite to the right.......

Gee $760 is good. I did a deal for $800 when they were $890 on ebay, not too bad. Found an awesome tyre too, Hankook Ventus Evo S1. $205 fitted per corner and brilliant wet/dry traction.

I really can't pick these wheels from the genuine VW originals. So much easier to clean than my old spokey ones which I'm about to put up for sale.

[jayce_6]

well it was $760 without tyres from a mate so yeah.

but yeah i had the detroit wheels, the bubble/alfa looking wheels. HATE them lol

will be putting them up for sale too. genuine 18s if anyone is interested!?!

I do like the new GTI wheels and while rep's usually come with a trade off in quality and weight the price is definitely much nicer than the OEM ones.

I'm still on the hunt for wheels for my Cab, just can't find anything I really like.
