Yeah I see that too.

Surely if you want BBS, just buy BBS?. :undecided:
Those Vossen wheels look like they were from Halfords  :sick:

So we’re all agreed then, those wheels are sh1t.

Well at least he’s got the forums talking.

I’m sure he wouldn’t have done if his great reveal had been “ I’ve got a set of adelaides”

Thx Guys, great feedback.

So it sounds like Pretoria from CM wheels / Michelin 4S tyres which'll bolt straight on without offset concerns....?

Or if I'm feeling flush, OEM from VW / Michelin 4S tyres but be prepared for a wait...?

Cheers

I’ll be selling my genuine black Pretoria’s imminently, looking for around £1200.

Hi All

Car arrived a couple of weeks back and happy boy :)

All advice re: size / offset taken on board from the above great advice....but I'm a little confused...

These wheels are being sold on eBay by a VW dealer close by. I enquired and they've offered them at £1700 inc tyres which seems reasonable.

I've explained to them they'll be going on a Mk 8 Clubsport and the guy went away to check with the tech who confirmed they'll fit ok....I'll come down and they'll do it the fitting for free.

But...the ad suggests the offset is 51....in practical terms, what does this mean they'll look like when they're on the car ?

Those wheels will be 7.5 x 19 from the golf 7.5
The higher the offset number, the further in the arch they will sit.

I would imagine that 7.5 width with 51 offset will sit quite far inside the arch and may require a spacer if you want them to sit flush.

Cheers, what I thought. The lower offset number wheels do seem pretty scarce.
