I even showed my dealer one of the pics to show off the wheels, who was very impressed.  Top marks, Mr FroGTI.   :grin: :grin: :grin:

Lol, that's nice :smiley: My salesman was also very impressed when he saw the finished result. It was a gamble of course, because there was no way I could know exactly what the Interlagos would look like on the car until I had bought them and had them fitted. On delivery day we had a little cold beer party (it was 32 degrees) with the mechanics, salesmen and even the MD of the dealership. Great fun :smiley:

Wow I can't imagine that happening here... neither the cold beer party nor the 32 degrees! :smiley:

Lol, yes I shudder to think what British health & safety would have had to say about a beer party during working hours :smiley: I provided the beer to thank them really for their efforts: they had given me an 11% discount on the GTI and changed the wheels over free of charge, for example, despite the fact that I had bought them privately in Germany.

I've always liked the Interlagos wheels ever since they first appeared on the Passat CC. I wanted to spec' them on my 2009 Eos, but my dealer said I couldn't (which is why I bought a set privately for the GTI). Also, I think they look a bit like the wheels on the Mercedes SLR  :laugh:

I agree!! IMHO, the rims on the Merc does not match the car's styling...

Well, I agree actually, but I didn't want to come across as being too obsessed by my wheels :laugh: Just to prove it, here's a shot without them in for once, lol.
