Title: I need to find these wheels! Please help.
Post by: synnea on 21 July 2006, 23:39

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me where to buy a set of these (or even replicas). So far I have tried my dealer, ebay and ebay germany but to no avail. They also come on the golf 'Goal' in germany as well as on the Golf 'Speed'. Thanks.

I cant speak German but I take it the name is 'Alufelgen 8 J x 18'

I think they look awesome.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey,

'Alufelgen' is basically just 'alloy wheel' so that doesn't help. It must be a product to order on the VW parts system... give your local dealer more hassle!! :)

I think they are 'Chicago' as fitted on the new Eos.
