Title: Know these alloys?
Post by: redm4lc on 03 March 2012, 14:14

Popped into my local Halfords on Edge Lane, Liverpool. Spotted this Golf sitting in the car park with my future alloys on. Had to take a picture.

If it's your Golf then Sir, they are beautiful. Does anyone know what they are / where to get them from?

Cheers.

A-ha. Think you've nailed it there. I thought they were some obscure brand wit VW caps on them... hadn't seen them before. Very nice!

I've been after some alloys for months but been very undecided the entire time. Definitely listed these ones now. Very smart!

Theyre quite nice but I prefer the spacing in the later ones. Suppose I've never seen them before due to a lack of R32s on the roads... Don't see many. Which is surprising as I'm up and down the country quite a lot! Wonder how much I can snag them for!

Mk4 R32 wheels are a better looking wheel tbh.

Each to their own :) Seen them on another Golf today. Amazing how often you see something when you're aware it's actually there... Just got to find some now  :cool:

Nice one mate. Just noticed these (http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/r32-alloys-x4--18/95307258 (http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/r32-alloys-x4--18/95307258)) as well. Dropped each of them an e-mail / text.

Also, I have a Match specification TDI with the 15" alloys at the minute. Will upgrading the tyre size to 18" effect the miles per gallon or speedo in any way? Am I better off getting a garage to swap it in that case?
