Just in case it helps, I bought a set of 19” Reifnitz in gunmetal from CM two and a half years ago and they’ve been on the car ever since.
Quality wise mine have been pretty good, they’ve survived some impressive potholes (I do try hard to avoid them but it can’t always be helped) with only one massive one putting a slight dink in the nearside front which is good going really. I seriously thought the car was going to break in half such was the impact (collapsed manhole cover filled with water on a NSL stretch of road) but the tyre and wheel survived it ok. In fact only a few weeks later I needed new front tyres as they were down to 3mm so I asked the fitter to check the wheel over, he said all was good and it was holding air just fine plus balanced up no problem. I seriously doubt an OEM Pretoria would have survived without a crack.
They seem tough enough as part of my commute is over some badly surfaced coastal roads and they’ve done twenty odd thousand miles now.
The original VW bolts and bolt caps fitted fine.
They come with blank centre caps which take a domed 56mm sticker type badge easily available on eBay for under a tenner a set. Mine have the older VW logos as they were the only style available at the time.
As above, they come with spigot rings as the centre bore is slightly larger than 57.1mm.
