Adelaides or Estorils

[Kgti8]

I like the Adelaides but just thought there was too much going on in the design. The Estorils are a stunning wheel and a simple design. The R logo is odd alright but you’d take no notice of it.


I have a photo of mine with the Estorils in the lead times discussion if it helps.

I’ve gone for Estorils, thought the adelaides looked good in pictures but slightly fussier in real life - and they are effectively Richmonds with cut outs shape wise. Downside of the estorils is they are more common across the vw range, I’ve not seen Adelaides available on any other model, has anyone else?

(Will be interesting to see if there will be an aftermarket sticker to replace the “R”.

The Estorils are more rare on the GTI though although maybe this will change in time.

I'll share something that once you have read it you can never unsee...

Both the adelaides and the estorils have a weird design element that is a notch in the rim. Not one but lots. Each spoke has it on one side.

My ocd freaks out looking at it.

That little design quirk features on quite a few current alloy wheel designs, not just from VW.

I keep thinking I've curbed my wheels

Yes  I can well imagine it looks like that at a glance!
