Hi guys this is my first post on this brilliant forum!! 
Those Helios alloys how much do the go for in the uk and what size are they?Here in South Africa we dont have thos only the Monzas' 
The Helios wheels come on the VW Phaeton. You can probably buy replicas though. The genuine Phaeton wheels are very rare and very expensive. Hardly anybody has bought a Phaeton let alone changed the wheels on one (a few footballers maybe?
)
Personally I don't like them on the mk6, but I'm old and miserable
Seriously though they are either 19 or 20 inch and very wide and completely the wrong offset. It's very fashionable in the UK to have tyres at a dangerous stretch (in other words too narrow for the rims they're on) and the Helios provide this. However to drive with a set of them on a bumpy road I'd expect the car to be all over the place. They would be fine for showing off at car shows though I guess. They'd be even better left on a Phaeton.
