Ok, finally got my G60 wheels :) Complete with top of the range kumho 195 50 15 tyres, all for £250 brand new :D I think thats a pretty fair price?!
Let me know what you think.... I'm sure that some better pics will follow...

looking good :cool:
sounds like a bargain to me
-
:wink:

They look smart.
So what's the deal with these, are they lighter then the alloys and hence more sought after?
-
Well, they are lighter than most alloys and they're still made by VW, I think. Think a lot of people like the look of them, and sometimes alloys are just a pain in the behind.
Few gallons of wonder wheels, anyone?
-
alot of people use them as winter wheels as they are 15's and are more hard wearing than alloys. more so nowadays as people like the oem thing and having an oe steel for winter means you can have a lush polished set for summer.
-
I'd pretty much had the car sorted looks wise, except for the wheels, and a few others... So i wanted some new ones, but didnt want to spend a lot. Tell me somewhere that i could pick up alloys for less than £25 each, that are made as well as the OE VW ones? That, and they look pretty good on other peoples cars, so i thought i'd go the same route :)
Only thing is, they look really bright on the car, still got to get used to them!
-
I really like them, only problem is they are so skinny, arn't they only 6.5J ?
I wish banded steels were legal in this country! or VW made fatter wheels !
:smiley:
-
They are a little thinner than i'd imagined, but still pretty fat, and i believe they are 7J. I have 195 50 15 on them too...

nice dog by the way jmallows!
-
Yeah, something to do with lions or something like that. They do get pretty big, in fact, she is almost bigger than most dogs she meets anyway! And the ridge on her back is dead cool :cool:
Everyone says they like them, and i must agree :D Didnt come cheap though...
-
bloody cool dog dude tbh i prefer it to the wheels lol
-
Thanks :rolleyes: Nothing wrong with the wheels though ;)
More pics in a few days ok :)
-
nah nothing worng at all! jsut the dog is cool maybe we need a forum mascot???
-
Jeremy, was that a one off price that your steeler done you (£23.50inc VAT)?
I have got my local steeler down too £23.50+vat but he wont seem to go no lower :angry:
Looking good though why did you go with the black centre caps and not the silver disc type ones?

Yeah, the wheels and tyres were at staff rates :) I didnt actually get an invoice so i cant be sure of the price, but he said about £20, so about £23.50 with the Vat. I think if you can get them for £23.50 + Vat thats pretty good, as he told me they were close to £40 + Vat. I went with the black centres as they were already on my old wheels, so seemed pointless getting new caps. I'm also not too sure on the silver caps :undecided: I havent really seen any pics of them with centre caps, only Dizzie had pics to show me in the original thread, and he has black centres :)
Forum mascot :wink: Sounds cool! lol
-
Wheels look good dude! :cool: Gotta get myself a set of these "winter wheels" for when the cold weather and salt kicks in! You got a bloody good deal there!
