Title: Topaz Alloys 18"
Post by: Alski on 12 December 2010, 22:00
Other than from a main stealer any idea where I might be able to lay my hands on a set of these. Seen them in the accessories brochure and think would make a good and subtle upgrade to my GTD.

There were a few German sellers with them back along but I can only find one set in 18'' at the moment on German ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alufelgen-Topas-VW-18-Zoll-Rader-Golf-Jetta-Silber-/190298034034?pt=Auto_Felgen&hash=item2c4ea58f72

Some on a red Yank GTI

The Topaz suit that red 'Septic Tank' GTI very nicely indeed  :cool:

No one on here rocking any bbs or anything yet? I think the mk6 would really suit a set of 17" deep dish bbs style rims

I'm not a fan of them to be honest but if you like them go for it.

Look similar to those I had on my Peugeot 307, they looked good on it but am doubtful that they would suit the mk6.

Ok, ok....got the message and seen the pics ! So somehow the photography in the VW accessories brochure make Topaz alloys look like Uma Thurman when in reality they 're more Wayne Rooney - amazing what trick of light can do. So think I'll stick with the standard 17" ones and think hard what to upgrade to once tyres need replacing. Need to replenish the coffers after spending lots on Darren's satnav & Bluetooth handiwork today !
