I asked this not so long ago, see this link. Size and stamps so I've been told. Get him to prove the stamp on the inner wheel.  :wink:

Why do you say that when the auction states they are genuine VW?
If its cash on collection its easy to verify before you take them as well

they must have been refurbed as they are the wrong colour, and the outer edge is to wide on the holes IMO

Reps.

The wheel bolt holes don't look right.
The rim doesn't look right.
The wheels just don't look right full stop.
They're not on a GTI so therefore bought cheap second hand by the seller, oh, and the caps are all wrong.

Just my tuppence worth.  :laugh:

I'd say reps too as the holes in the rim look the wrong shape to me?

I say they are reps since i've bought vw oem ones.
I have a mk5 gti and bought dealer vw mk6 gti ones, with the black insert.
The ones on the ebay pics have a very wide lip;
between the insert and the edge, mine don't.
here is a close up of my oem ones, around 450 euro a wheel:

Just because the lip on the edge is wider it doesn't mean they are reps as they look like that when they have been re-furbed.  :happy2:
