Its a shame they couldnt have designed a modern version of the P slot wheel for this car.

They did!  :confused:

The one I saw a pic of was wearing 5 spokes?

some people just dont get the P on the wheels  :signLOL:

Ive never seen one in 'real life' only pics on here , in fact untill i joined here I didnt know the Pirelli Mk5 at all. What I meant though , was a solid wheel with just the P slots running round the outer edge , but in 18" size....

The newer version is exactly as you say, a more modern interpretation of the classic 'P' Pirelli wheel.

Well Rich's Silver Pirelli is just perfect if you ask me.  :congrats: I love the wheels and the interior. I agree about not modding them aswell....well to a degree. They definitely need the Eibachs/H&Rs lowering springs and they look amazing. Revo and TBE are subtle mods too which also keep the car looking OEM.

I'd have one, but I think I am still smitten with the S3.  :evilgrin:

Ha! I can't believe it. I have just seen the P's in the wheel. I was trying to find a big P shape, but now I see they are short and wide ones like in this pic below  :laugh:

I've done 33.5k miles now.

Bought to drive... drive i shall do so...

Everyone on this forum knows the Pirelli is rare... but to 99.9% of people out there.. its just a Golf GTi... with a Pirelli badge stuck on (which some people  think ive stuck on  :signLOL:)



Even rarer is the yellow/mustard coloured Pirelli I know of only 1 in the U.K and it resides it scotland, i did see one for sale down south but not sure if its the one thats up here now.

That wasn't an official UK colour Keith so must have been privately imported.  :happy2:

It is currently roaming around Aberdeen :happy2:
