Genuine G60 steels have circular holes in them, Passat ones have ones shaped like D's, still 15in though.

Gen G60 steels have been obsolete worldwide for some time now. :nerd:

Now I wouldn't put any ideas in your head but.....

If by "right" you mean an OEM G60 Golf wheel, then no, they are Passat ones.
Note the holes in the wheel look like D's rather than O's.
But tbh you'd need to be really anal to worry about it, they were both OEM VW wheels and look the part when fitted.
You could try and haggle with them saying that they are misadvertised, but I think they're a fair price for brand new steels.  :wink:

The shame about the Ronals is the laquer problems they all have, I havent seen a pair that hasnt peeled  :cry: so its a massive expense for new wheels that will peel!

On the other hand, I do happen to know someone (myself) that is selling some 15" steels banded to 8 and 9J that are from a vauxhall so have the round circular holes in that were also banded by Wide-wheels which is now Bandedsteels.com for a price that is near to what you would pay for the ronals but get the look of the steels with the width and basically new tyres!

Decent lol

Any pics Adam?
They sound sweet.

I want some banded steels but I've got to reduce my wheel collection before I can :sad:

I reckon wheel collections are the male manifestation of the "shoe gene" in women.
