Sticking to the matte wrap theme:

KLASSEN M52R - REVISITED
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET tbc, weight tbc

There are a set of 19" genuine Tornados on ebay at the moment (Genuine Volkswagen 2013 BUG Beetle Alloy Wheels 8" X 19" P N 5C0071499AX1 | eBay)

Could be an interesting style on a new golf

loving the look of this wagon R,might be tempted when it's available as I've got a soft spot for the old sportbrake shape

Agreed, and not badly priced for a set of OEM wheels in 19".

Different spoke design but same polished finish:

Hoping that VWA decide to bring it, as unlikely as it seems - I've got my eye on the S3 next time but this would tempt me to stick with VW.

��I didn't get on with the s3 I ordered and ended up cancelling after I'd driven the R,nice looking dash but IMO although it's almost identical parts wise it was just set up to understeer like a badly setup fwd car.

I'll put my hand up and say I haven't driven one yet so cannot comment - and obviously would do so prior to committing to anything (ignoring the fact I never test drove a Mk7 before picking mine up). I'm not sure how they're priced in the UK but here the S3 makes a compelling case given the price difference/specifications and market position of Audi, plus I love the look of the sedan.

Having said all that if the budget suits at the time I'll be looking at the other Germans, or save my pennies and go for something like the Octavia. In any case that decision is some time off as I've banned myself from swapping any time soon.

Abt DR
Info from the US dealer page says 19 inch with Abt Springs.

Not sure if these are both the same car with and without the grill.
