What wheels ?
« on: 07 January 2021, 19:17 »
Just seen a MK8 Gti for sale in Lookers VW Northallerton on Autotrader (don't know how to do the link) - it's Black,£31,999.00 - the wheels are 18" (you can see the tyre size in the photos) but they are a 10 spoke design,anthracite grey in colour which look really good - I was thinking it a shame why VW don't offer them as an option ! - does anybody know what they are ?

Why would someone be selling it after 1 month and 750 miles??? Unless it was a demonstrator.

That’s a very nice looking car. Like a more modern mk7.

It's amusing the number of dealer demos / stock cars that are appearing with dealer-fitted wheels... I don't remember seeing that ever happen with the Mk7. The standard wheels are so bad that even the dealers realise it.

Yes I was about to ask why the hell a dealer demo car had non oem wheels. Really strange.

Do you think they will tell the buyer about declaring those to their insurance company?

I really like them, a normal buyer will have no idea they are not standard so will be very unlikely to tell their insurance :shocked:
