Title: anybody no what wheels mine are?
Post by: stainesy on 05 May 2012, 18:52
does anybody no what wheels mine are that came on the car?
are they off of another vw?
they are nasty but they look like standered wheels off something that have been painted. done a good job on the paint job but still nasty rims.

I think these are a genuine vw alloy called sport rader. Have a look at the link. I also think wolfrace used to make something like this, they may even have been the manufacturer for the vw ones?

Early a3 was 5x100, later cars were 5x112
