    Best place in Victoria for rims for the Golf VI?

    Hey, just wondering if anyone has some recommendations for where the best place is to get wheels for the Golf VI? (price, range and staff know-know).

    Also, are there any special requirements when choosing rims for a Golf with tyre pressure sensors?

    Cheers

    Make sure you get wheels that are the correct bolt pattern (5x112), and offset to match your car.
    Also make sure you look for the more euro specific wheels rather than teh generci re-drilled ones.

    Your local Volkswagen Spare Parts desk.

    Forget looking locally, unless you're after a Falcondore rim, check out the forums and see what people have ordered in, buying locally you'll get some redrilled cheap incorrect offset rims from places like Tempe Tyres or you'll pay over the odds on rims you can source much cheaper online.

    Also, are there any special requirements when choosing rims for a Golf with tyre pressure sensors?

    I guess you haven't bothered to read your manual?

    Just got some tires from the boys at Tyre Power in Hawthorn on Burwood Rd.

    They have the best range I have seen in a long time!! Not your heavy cheap rubbish wheels but a great range including Volk, Advan, OZ, Enkei and also more semi slick and high performance street tires than you could poke a stick at.

    I'd second the Mag Wheel Centre. Peter machined hubcentric rings for me... And yes he knows his stuff.
