Just saw a brand new jobbie whilst at the dealers and they have fitted easier to clean wheels on the R32 - But how boring - it now looks little different to a normal golf - even the estate - you couldn't really tell much difference from the front what with that chrome grill. Frankly the car is so dulled down now that even the twin pipes don't help to elevate it - come on VW get it together!

I beleive these are called Omanyt allows and unfortunatley im getting them with my R....

Got them on my R, they don't look bad at all in the flesh...Just sh!te in the pics

Take the plastic centre cap off and get the normal VW centre logo. Completely transforms the look of the wheel.

-

I like, where can i get some of those centre caps from except the stealers....
-
at first the old style zolder look better but on further inspection the omanyt is okay when clean and car is on the move

Ebay?
-
that's the omanyt with the cap taken off
-
Indeed....is it easy to get the caps off?
-
Very easy Manu_GTI. Take it to a stealer. They just break them off and then charge you for new ones.
Trust me :wink: I speak from experiance.
-
well tried this today as i have a 17" Mk5 gti alloy in the garage with the centre cap and it doesn't look as good as the pics in real life..so will prob keep them as they are.
-
they suck, no imagination to them look like mk5 tdi wheels, dont shout class to me, rather economy.

How about something with no class, but costs a fortune.

The zolders look way way better than the new crap GT lookalike alloys - in fact the GT alloys look better...
-
they look good when the car is on the move..........try to get some shots of both alloys on the move and you'll see the difference
i used to think the same at first

i have to agree there. When I first seen them on pictures on the net they looked cack. But having seen them in the flesh and had a little time to get used to them I have to say I am quite happy with them. the fact that they are easier to clean means the wheels look better 90% of the time anyway... Let me post some pics and you can decide from yourself
-
Any idea why VW has decided to change the wheels at this stage in the Mk5 R32's life as the Mk 6 is due out in just over a years time? Must be cheaper to buy them in or manufacture them than the Zolder's? They remind me of the Mk4 V6 4 Motions wheels and they'll be easy to clean - if not as easy as the Monzas! :smiley:

I know that they are lighter than the Zolders and therefore make it slightly faster and improve reposnse and handling :shocked:

I don't care if they even added 40bhp to the bl00dy car, I went to my local dealer today and they had a 3-door black R32 in the showroom with these new alloys and they looked shockingly shyte :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: If I hadn't notcied the back or front of the car, I would have thought I was looking at a Golf Match or something - truly horrendous. What made it worse was that there was an identical black R32 parked in the car park outside with the older Zolders on and that made the difference even more stark. :sick: :sick: :sick:
-
What a shame :(
-
i thought the same at first even going so far as to request a change over but then the zolder's look a bit 90's after a while
anyway, just thought i'd let you all know, i've been driving my car fast as possible around very tight corners :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

Personally though I think the ED30 wheels are the best!!
The GTI wheels look nice but then you look at the back of the car and it doesn't look that much different to a normal Golf except for the double side exhaust.

Agreed, but what has the back of the car to do with the alloys? :huh: The R32 rear looks :drool: :drool: :drool:
