VW Rotary 18" Alloy Wheels
« on: 27 January 2015, 20:25 »
Wigit over in the mk7 section has had a set of VW Rotary 18" alloys fitted to his wife's new Night Blue .:R and I think they look really good, but I am biased, as I have a set on my mk6 GTD.

By special request by Booth11 to see what the Rotary's look like on a mk6, here's a picture of mine. Comments and feedback welcomed!  :wink:

Wow  :cool:  That is simply stunning :drool:  Why have you been hiding this baby away, unseen for so long!  And look at that shine  :shocked:

The Rotary's look superb and suit both the mk6 and mk7s which wouldn't be the case with many alloys.  The anthracite really complements the carbon grey, it's a winning combination.  If I had to choose between the two, the mk6/rotary combo just edges it because I still think it's a better looking car than the mk7.  If they had carbon grey as an option on the mk7 R I could have been seriously tempted away from my beloved deep black pearl, and if I ever get a set of different alloys for it, the Rotary's would be my first choice.

Thanks for indulging me SRGTD, it's a gorgeous car  :smiley:

I reckon they'd look good on my GT for next years winters. Do they come in 17"?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Thanks for the kind comments Booth. Sorry, I've not intentionally hidden it away. It's used daily in all weathers and doesn't always look like this, but like you, I do get pleasure from keeping it looking tidy, so it gets a proper 2 bucket and woolly mitt wash weekly or fortnightly, a machine polish with my new toy once a year, and a wax probably 3 times a year. I doubt it's up to the same standard as yours though. :grin:

I still have my diamond cut 18" Charleston's, and the plan is to put them back on when I eventually sell the car (no plans to do so any time soon!), so it's back to OEM. I'm not in a hurry to put them back on though, as I prefer the Rotary's.

Don't worry, they're staying on. Nice spec on your mk7 R by the way. Now the wait begins.....................but the prize will be worth waiting for  :smiley:
