Anyone seen a pic of a MK5 wearing them?

Cheers. :)

Without seeing a pic of them on a GTi I'm not sure either way, but has anyone heard of the lxy haines brand before? Google is not really being my friend on this on. :huh:

How much do they weigh compared to stock..?

If significantly more don't bother... unless, of course, it's the looks you're after in which case it's a purely subjective thing...

That's the problem, I can't find a website for the brand or any other info. :huh:

Local alloy dealer has had some of these Luxury Haines in for a while and now has them with a good discount with tyres on. In the flesh they look okay, but I'd still have concerns as the rim is laquered and polished, so white worm is only a mild scrape away! :wink:

Nice wheels but I dont think they would suit the GTI. Only 5 spokes to suit the GTI are the Monza II's

Sorry, another no from me. I think that only multispoke wheels suit the Golf!

but don't like the writing on them
look a bit like Lorinser wheels
