A revisit to keep guys like Mikey and Avdo happy ;). These particular Rays are basically in OEM spec but do come in bigger, and wider, fitments.

I think Avdo prefers the Volk Racing G12 and ZE40.http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ons/icon11.png I still like the G25, but in Mercury Silver, not black. I can't really understand why everybody likes black wheels. I think the detail gets lost, particularly in photos when fitted to a car. Call me old fashioned if you like. http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...cons/icon7.png

I obviously like the G25 given it has similarities to the OZ Leggera HLTs, and while I had a love affair with black wheels like a lot of people in recent years I have drifted back to preferring silver and graphite/anthracite wheels. I agree the detail is usually lost with black, which is why I quite like having at least the polished lip to give some definition to the wheel. Having said that I still love the black R with the Oettinger treatment in this thread!

Mickey, you're old fashioned ;)

This image is from over in the headlight thread I am curious as to what these wheels are? At first I thought they were Pretoria's but then I realised they are something else.

I could be wrong, but I suspect these aren't actually VW wheels at all. I came across this vehicle on golfmk7 and the owner claims they are 20 inch Amarok wheels - however to the best of my knowledge no such thing exists. He does reference a pic here: http://www.uebi7.com/img/fotos/amaro...o%2020%204.jpg , and these appear to be some type of Brazilian wheels 'Rodas HD Aro' here: RODA VW AMAROK / ARO 20 / 5 FUROS .

They do have an OEM look to them and must fit a VW centre cap to complete the look - and look great on the red Golf in question.

The closest to these in the VW range are the Savannahs but these are very aggressive for a Golf with 19 x 9 ET33 sadly. Similar styles also include Durbans and Salvadors (both 18 x 7.5 ET51) and Helix (18 x 8, ET48 ) all of which fit a Golf just fine.

Of course I could be wrong on my hunch above and happy for someone to correct, with some evidence!
