Been offered the following from VW as winter alloys any views
« on: October 03, 2011, 11:45:29 am »
Thanks for your enquiry, unfortunately the wheels you have specified will not fit onto your vehicle as the stud offset is different, but I believe I have another option for you.

 

We have some used R32 wheels in stock, I say used but they are in brilliant condition each wheel retail is £487.52 inc VAT but we are selling the whole set for £300 inc VAT two of these wheels come with tyres on which have good tread depth on them and can be used at any time.

 

These wheels are the same size as the wheels you currently have on your vehicle so would in keep with the appearance of the vehicle, I can get you winter tyres from Goodyear that would normally cost £262.54 inc VAT we would sell to you at £180.00 in VAT.

 

I have attached a picture of the wheels for you if you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

So £480 all in? Not bad actually.

You'd probably find a set of 17" Monzas with tyres for £350 on eBay as an alternative.  :happy2:

I think that must be £180 per tyre waiting for them to get back to me.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

love those wheels. no idea why VW changed them for the Omanyts which don't look anywhere near as good.

It is just the cost of 18" winter tyres they are at least £75 more expensive per quarter compared to 16's.  Have found a german VW winter tyres pdf and they are suggesting 17" not 16" for some reason.

I would have thought, for winter wheels you want as much tyre as possible, personally I wouldn't use 18's or 17's but 16's.
