The Unofficial ''ideal for mk6 winters thread''
« on: 13 October 2011, 16:27 »
Lots of people on here doing a last minute scrabble round looking for winter wheels before the snow falls and the couriers can't deliver your 'new' wheels to you so you can't use 'em anyway.
16'' and 17'' wheels go for about 50p in the summer but suddenly hit new highs in the autumn during panic buy season.

So here's a thread for potential 'bargains' people discover on their travels that they may wish to share.
I won't put any mega expensive ones in here as you can easily find those yourselves if you want brand new wheels, but feel free to put whatever you want in here.
It'll probably get dumped somewhere by a global before long but don't say I didn't try!!

Take out the Leon centre caps and stick some VW ones in (may require a bit of silicone to sit them in there tightly) and re-use your black nut covers. I ran a set of these on my mk5 GT TDI temporarily whilst I was waiting for another set to be refurbished. Need spacers to look good though.
