Just a wee update after finally receiving some replacement wheels.

I've just went for winter tyres on these and only using them just now until the 2 x Michelin PS4s arrives for the rear wheels.
I just ended up buying a new Pretoria as the ones I seen on ebay were needing refurbed anyway.

I think the offset is slightly lower than the Prets so the wheels stick out slightly more which is not a bad thing.
The colour is actually a bit darker than the pictures and for me suits the car well.

I then got to thinking, Whats to stop someone buying replica Pretorias and putting them on the car as they are about to trade it in. The dealership will never know!!!




I like those :cool:. Really like the colour too. Are they the Fox Racing wheels you previously posted a picture of?

They are Fox Racing matt carbon and are actually darker than in the picture.

The offset is 40.

The picture above is when I had just changed them so the suspension had still to settle plus I've now added VW centre caps.

Looking good Stevie  :cool:

A *much* better offset than the Prets too.

Oh, and there’s nothing stopping anyone replacing genuine with replica Prets at trade in time. 99.9% of dealers wouldn’t notice.

If I could go back and order my new wheels again, I would have chosen ET45 for the front and ET40 for the rear.

Or if I had to have the same all round, then ET40 for all.
