Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

I found a video of a mk7 with what seems to be the "Milton Keynes" wheels... Im praying that VW will allow us to pick different wheels.

Awful. Verging on sacrilege. They cheapen the whole car.

I think you might be mistaken. To my knowledge those wheels in that clip look to be 17" Brooklyn's. The Milton Keynes wheels (aka Parker in the UK), have the black inlay and aren't to dissimilar from Austin's.

Anyhow you can check it out in the German catalogue in the wheels section.

That looks a lot better to me than the Brooklyn's. Can live with that but will check with my local dealer if I can upgrade to the 19' Brescia (I think that is the wheels vw use on the clubsport 40)

Having seen the German configurator, I now think the Milton Kenes rims look great. Much relieved.

Holding out very very slim hope they'll offer the Pretoria's as an option or a part!

[Ralfi]

They did look small. Should've picked up on that.

Dark iron blue has me puzzled. Saw a swatch at my dealer and it looked a dark navy blue - darker than the current Mk7 GTI blue (midnight blue?). Yet on the VW Germany configurator dark iron blue looks like a mid grey-blue.

Woah nice job limiteded! Good source for all that juicy info?
