Although I am one of the few who likes their monzas I also like the look of the VW Racing Alloys.
My car is deep black pearl so do you reckon these would look too much? they look great on NeilGTI car as it is red. The company is holding the price at £1000 for the 4 but I don't want too buy them if they are gonna look the pits.
What do you guys think?

I know what you meen. I have been waiting to see them on darker colours myself as i want to see what they may look like on shadow blue.
-
I think they would look the nuts on my Carbon Grey but would like to see some photos before I would spend that much money. Any photo shop pro's that can be of help would be fantastic.

Where will I be able to source these alloys?? Been loooking online but with no luck. Maybe I can only get them direct from a VW dealership?? Any help Gizzy or from anyone else is much appreciated.

Hi there
Try this www.volkswagenracing.co.uk the price is £1000 for the 4 but you will need to pre-order as they are sold out until the next batch come in around March/April. You will then need tyres too so could be pricey though as you say on carbon grey could look fantastic.
I could do with some pics on a dark car eg black or blue.

Cheers Gizzy. Ace website apart from the fact aswell as the alloys I now want a remap, air filter, lowered 20mm and a short shift gear change :cool: :grin:
This could get expensive!!!!

Hi
Just noticed you are in Fort William, I lived in Spean Bridge from 1994 until 2002, loved the area and the great skiiing on Aonach. Looks like there's been plenty of snow at Nevis range this year too.
Yeah vwr racing is a great site but could end up costing you an arm and a leg, me? I think I will just go for the alloys if I can see what they look like on a black car.
Hope you are enjoying your car, great roads round you for giving the car some welly.
All the best

I was up skiing yesturday infact for the first time in years and it was rather good. The best season they've had in a long time. I haven't got my car yet. Expecting it next week hopefully and I think a wee blast down the Inverness road is in order and the Mallaig road is now fantastic since its been re-built so I'll head that way at some point aswell.
-
Down the side of Loch Linnhe through Glencoe over Rannoch stopping off at the Green Welly for a coffee and cake, through Crianlarich down Loch Lomondside to Helensburgh and back again. Wow that would give the car a real work out.
You will have a real blast with it when you get the car just enjoy, it's a real cracker and worth all the hard earned readies.
Gizzy
By the way that run to Mallaig - awesome!!
-
Ah, but if you left the area in 2002 you maybe missed the updated version of the Fort William to Mallaig road. It's still twisty with plenty of sharp bends but once you go past the Arisaig turn off it is like a race track all the way into Mallaig. Big long straights with long sweeping corners. Had great drives on that road in my Alfa 147 then my Corsa VXR but the best to come in my GTI. Need to watch though because the old bill keep a keen eye on this area for the boy racers.
The VW Racing alloys would be a great help for this drive infact. (Thought I would mention the alloys in some way before I get hung for going off topic) :grin: :laugh:
-
Lol :laugh:
So are you gonna get the alloys? If you do pics immediately after fitting please. :wink:
Gizzy
-
No, you first. I aint got a Grand to spend then find out it looks pish. :undecided:
-
Aye exactly me neither just wish someone would post some pics or someone who is good with computers could photoshop some.
I would like them but as you say a grand is too much to spend if they don't add to the cars looks.
Gizzy
-
Whats wrong with you people??? Neil has them on his car!! :grin:
-
Find a pic of a car with them on and then take a pic of yours from the same perspective. I'll photochop them on for you, but I can't be arsed transforming the angles.
-
Whats wrong with you people??? Neil has them on his car!! :grin:
Yes we know that. But Neil has a red car and they look good against the red, we don't know how they will look on black or carbon grey that is our problem.
Actually while on the subject they would look awesome on your white car.
Gizzy
-
Just order them you know you want to :smug:
They also paint them any colour you want cos when they receive them they are in primer and send them to a paint shop to be painted any colour you want :wink:
Don't think the Gunmetal colour will look good on a black car IMO :embarassed:

Didn't realise you could have them any colour, so could go for silver then, great will now need to look at finances and choose some decent tyres.

I don't believe so.
As far as I know there were only 6 sets in the UK...
Neil has a set.
That white GTI has a set.
I have a set.
VWRs Mk5 demo car had a set on (which I now own too)
And somewhere there are two more sets around.
But VWR say there will be no more of them.

You can still get the 18" versions but I'd go direct to Team Dynamics as they make them and get them for £300 less than the VWR branded versions.

So these ones aren't the same as the ones VWR currently sell?

No, the current ones are the Team Dynamics ones.
The old ones were 8.5" x 19" with less spokes, and the spokes were more square.
-
thanks for all the info guys, the alloys in your sig(red golf gti) are they the team dynamic ones then?
-
sorry just re read the post, i understand now, i really like the alloys youve got on the red gti. so cant get em anymore? :(( are there no lookalikes available then? i want the same design alloys if thats possible? do you think the wheels would look ok on a mkv r32, this is my first time buying a set of alloys, so got tooo many questions. thanks in advance
