Pretoria 18’s/19’s on 7.5

CM Wheels sell Reifnitz reps in both 18 & 19”
Was tempted to sell my Belvederes back along and get a set of Reifnitz reps for clattering over potholes to save the originals.

This is what I'm thinking of doing too

Cheapest genuine 19" Prets on Ebay are between £1500-2500 unless you want damaged ones. But considering all the issues with them cracking, you'd want to getting some mint ones.

Think CM wheels are definitely worth a try as huge savings.

They have 19" Reifntz in Satin Gunmetal for £500! Also, they have the 18" Prets or 19" Seville (black with polished red lip) for £500 as well which I've never personally liked in the factory grey but these do look good in this spec.

I was thinking of 18" Reifnitz from CM wheels if and when I get my TCR.

Those Seville wheels look so much better in 19”

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the forum and have recently changed from a 7.5 R to a 7.5 GTI Performance in manual. I actually prefer it as it’s more fun to drive and engaging  ! I miss the black pret 19’s on it and wondered if anyone has fitted them (18 or 19) to the GTI ? Mine is solid white and I’d go with the OEM or reproductions. There’s a massive difference in price and after reading on here it may well be worth a punt ! Be interested to hear from anyone who’s fitted them to their car.

Thanks

Thought I'd share this as gives you a good idea of how a white GTI with black Prets looks. Have to say was very impressed with how this looked.

I too have a 7.5 Performance, in Atlantic Blue, and I fitted 18" genuine black Prets about a year ago. They look great to my eyes.
They are available from dealers (via ebay or walk in) and were 1100 for the set, including shipping and with new centre caps. They came with the VW paperwork and TUV cerificates etc. so legit and covered by the VW Accesories warranty.

19" just look so much better

So I’ve decided I’ll go 19’s (sod it) and it’s between the gloss black prets or the satin black reifnitz. I haven’t got dcc so hopefully the ride won’t be too brutal !  I was just about to order the reifnitz then saw the tcr with prets ! 🤔😬 Decisions decisions....

They are filthy but perhaps these might help you decide:

Prets all day long
