its all about the rims and the russian mafia

taken off of a gti outside a dealership by people with russian mob links apparently. As a result nobody wanted to pursue the theft and the dealership made the owner a very decent offer on a new car as an apology as it happened on their premises

I dont think he was asking if they were original. He was asking what they were before they went missing lol.

+1. The car is obviously modded and I presumed would have aftermarket rims. Just wanted to know which ones.
