I second everyone else, Pretorias all the way. 

I had Diamond Cut Austin wheels on my GTI PP and although they looked great they do scratch real easy and the black does get dull after time.  If you do get Diamond Cut wheel I would suggest covering them in GTechniq C5 Wheel Armour straight away on the day of pick up from the fore court.  This will keep your wheels looking great for a long time. 

The Pretorias are much easier to clean and far more durable to the elements and brake dust... But then that may also be partly due to the C5 Wheel Armour I put on them as well.   :wink:

... neither. What did they think of the standard alloys?

Cadiz are THE Golf R alloys - one of the most distinctive and recognisable parts of the R. Money well saved!

As much as I like the Pretorias, an extra grand is just too much.

I'd stick with the Cadiz like Daz says.

The Cadiz have grown on me over the last 6 months or so but they aren't in the same league as the Pretoria.
If money was tight I wouldn't be unhappy with the Cadiz though.

Mind made up completely thanks for everyone's opinions. The standard prets win hands down. Just need to get the dealer down to my carwow price then we're ordering....... or do I want to add keyless?

Standard finish I meant not the gloss black.
