The dealer quoted me £470 inc VAT, so I rang TPS and they quoted £441.
I did see a single one on VW Parts Depot ebay shop for £275 a while back. I went back a couple of days later, but it had gone.

The VW Parts Depot wheel was purchased by me, currently on my car looking all shiny. :wink: A previous post of mine on this forum was about Vancouver's, single ones do sometimes pop up occasionally but that VW Parts wheel was extremely cheap. I was going to pay £536 to my dealership, incredibly glad I held out and the bay came through.

Too right it was cheap. I should have bought it as soon as I saw it. I hovered over the buy it now button, but being the tight arse that I am, thought I would put it off for a bit longer.

I've got one sorted now (thanks lee). It cost me a bit more, but by the time I get the VAT back, it won't be too bad.

Back to the top in the for sale section, due to an ebay time waster  :angry:

I came across this add on UKPassats for a cheap set of Vancouvers. In need of some tidying, but worth a look.

If anyone is interested, I have a set of Vancouvers sitting in my garage that I'll gladly sell seeing as I no longer have a golf to put them on. Looking for £580 without postage, but can meet someone near Edinburgh/ Glasgow area with them.

yes mate, they were but got cheesed off with the usual chancers....would work out a deal and they'd go silent only to reappear and try and renegotiate, so I let it lapse as I'd sooner have them gather dust than deal with that.

Back on topic, all tyres are good and if you remember the ad you will know the condition. some marks that would need attention if you want to them to be perfect. I can email pics to you if you want, but need your address, PM me.
