I do like those wheels Neil  :tongue: :tongue:

Are they only available through VWR ?  and how much £ are we talking for a set of 4 ?

Yes only get them from Vwr, i paid 1k +vat for them then you you gotta get tyres aswell so not cheap,
I think they suit the car better than the Monzas thou,

Took them off for now and running winter tyres on R32 rims, they will be getting painted same colour as the vwr's when i put the others back on, don't look great but grip is a lot better with Vredys on in this weather

Neil, your VWR alloys are lovely, I don't normally like aftermarket wheels but your Mk6 is nicest I've seen. Shame VW weren't a bit more inventive with the factory wheels on the mk6..

Yep they're genuine BBS VZ 033s, 8x18 ET44. Two Conti 3s with a couple of thousand miles wear and two Conti 2s that are quite worn. Absolutely no kerbing what so ever but one wheel has a couple of small stonechips that I've touched in.
Price? Not got a clue at the moment, I'm just at the deciding stage as to whether I want to part with them (took me ages to get a set). There's a guy who lives round the corner from me who's got an Audi A3 is interested in them, but I'm open to offers.

A good thing about those particular wheels is that they were a special edition for the mk5 Golf that had the wheel bolt holes wide enough to fit the black nut covers in OEM style. Plus they're slightly wider and have a lower offset than Pescaras so they sit perfectly in the arches.  :cool:
Why did I sell my mk5?  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Here's how they looked on my mk5
‘25 8.5R, ‘23 8R, ‘20 8CS, ‘19 135iX, ‘19 TCR, ‘17 Ed40, ‘17 GTD, ‘15 7R, ‘13 GTI PP, ‘11 GTI, ‘09 GTI, ‘98 Ibiza Cupra, ‘05 GTI, ‘06 Polo GTI, ‘04 GT TDI, ‘05 Fabia vRS, ‘02 GTI T, ‘03 Ibiza TDI 130, ‘01 Leon 180, ‘89 mk2 16v, ‘99 Ibiza TDI, ‘96 VR6, ‘98 Ibiza TDI, ‘92 VR6, ‘88 mk2 8v, ‘92 Polo G40, ‘91 mk2 8v, ‘89 mk2 8v, 205 GTI 1.9, ‘83 mk1 GTI, ‘80 Scirocco GTI, plus some others I’ve forgotten

Sorry, forgot about this thread.
I bet the tyres that come with the CHs in the above link are cheap sh!te.

Mine'd be much much cheaper but with two tyres that need changing soon.  :smiley:

Not so sure I want to change wheels now as I've just spent the last few days actually using the Golf a bit and have fallen for the 'charms' of the Detroits again. Gonna get some spacers for the back I think to give it a bit more aggressive stance similar to the BBSs.

It tells you which tyre's it comes with (Federal)

You can buy them for around £60 online excluding fitting, not a tyre i would go for.
