Speaking of OEM applications, VW Omanyts:

I really like this because people will look at it and think it's an OEM wheel but not have seen it on a Golf. Kind of custom OEM.

I regard it as somewhat "authentic" and respectful of the marque, whilst still being slightly custom or different.

Actually, these wheels seem a nicer drive than the original Cadiz.
Suspect the Audi wheels might be lighter, but I didn't take any weight measurements.
And I'm using the identical rubber, swapped over from the Cadiz set.
Since you asked, when time permits, I'll share some pics. All good.

The silver ones are very nice indeed.

Please do - nice to have an Aussie car running S3 wheels actually posted up. Both those and the twin spoke (the alternative SPP wheel option I had on my S3) look great on the Mk7/7.5s.

The Cadiz are a very heavy wheel, I suspect the Audi star would be a few pound less - be easy enough to check if I had time.

I used to think Cadiz were heavy, until I bought these as cheapo track bashers
