Just got my Activa Alloy wheels delivered, all packaged in the Original VW parts boxes.  AND they fit in the boot perfectly.... thought I would have to put the back seats down, maybe I don;t miss my big estate at all...

any chance u could throw up a picture of them fitted ? think of buying these myself

Don't forget, when the weather gets *that* bad, there's always Autosocks to get you out of trouble......

www.autosockdirect.co.uk

Or available here :-
www.roofbox.co.uk/csma  or
www.foofbox.co.uk/ukc

(And I daresay there's other organizations Roofbox have 'teamed up with' for discount....)

for an extra 5% discount on the socks 

Has anyone actually used these on Monza Shadows? i have thought about getting a set but i'm a little worried that they'll scratch the polished surface of the wheel.

Rolfe did a review on them last winter and was in favour of them, if you have a look through her posts of which there have been none of late? you should come across it.

I used them last year and they were great, different manufacturer, These Ones
No problems with the rims getting marked though a pain to put on and off which is why I have invested in winter tyres this year.
I had to use them for two weeks as it was impossible to get to my house without them.
