For a while I have wanted to try a set of 18" wheels on the Golf.
As shown, a set of genuine VW Pretoria' in silver.
I am not sure, maybe with a little brake dust & road grime they will calm down a little? 😉


Looks good with the Tornado Red.

Thanks Adam, I am sure I will come round to like them....

They'd look great in a matt bronze...

Hhmmm.... Maybe? I don't really want to attract too much attention. This is my sensible car, after all!  :wink:

They look great. I have done similar on mine (albeit OZ 18" HLT Leggeras)  but since I originally had 19" prets, I went with 235/40 tyres to get the same rolling diameter and fill the arches a smidge more. The ride is so much better, and 2kg a corner weight saving.

I did the same, went from 19" Santiago's (225/35) to 18" Protrack One's (235/40) and never looked back.
