Pretty 18x8 ET45 Alloys for £840 & less for the Mk6 GTI.

Lowest to Highest Price.

(1) Dotz Exile Silver £468


(2) Cades Bern HS £499


(3) Fianchi Maranello HS £549


(4) BBS VZ £606


(5) BBS CK Brilliant Silver £840

MINE


Must admit they have a similar design theme!
This kinda reminds me of the current Golf advertising campaign - why buy 'something like a Golf' when you can buy a real Golf. And BBSs and Golfs both cost too much money.  :tongue:

Then, I'd commit suicide. Could not afford to replace. Anyway, I am not a fan of carbon fibre. It's too bloody bling even for me, THE BLINGMIESTER. The stuff looks odd, cheap and chav at the best of times.  :evil:

But at only 2.76Kg per wheel you could always paint them. Cost more than the car though  :grin:
