VW 19" Motorsport wheels - at a bargain price

[Gnasher]

Just a quick one - if anyone is looking for a set of VW Motorsport wheels, do a search on ebay as there are some on there at a bargain price!!

More than one set available and I have no connection with the seller - I just know you guys on here like OEM+ mods!

Would they be the Anthracite ones for £479? Could've had my R stick with Cadiz (no delays) and buy these shod with Michelin PSS for about £170 more than VW are charging me for Prets and (no doubt) sh!tty Bridgestone RE050s. I'd have to see them photoshopped onto a Lapiz R, but I think i'd prefer the Prets.

Have you noticed that every single set of Prets that come from Ebay.de come with tyres that aren't the dreaded Flintstones? Usually shod with Pirelli P-Zero. They must be saving the sh!tty tyres for the UK market, because the Germans don't seem to be keeping them for themselves.

If they are genuine that is a crazy bargain. I was looking at the 18" version in black and they are £270 each!

have today tempted but for the offset as 45 does not rub when lowered

lovely wheel

I'm useless with offsets etc, the compatability list says they aren't compatible with the R or 2.0TSI (GTI?) why would that be? How would they sit compared to a set of Pretorias for example?

offset on Prets are 50mm so these stick out 9mm in comparison, my aftermarket wheels are 45 in same width

Might be a bit much then? They'd sit flush-ish with the top of the arch but might stick out a bit from the body?


Although i've seen people with 15mm+ spacers on Austins which look ok, i'm so confused!!

There's an extra 6mm of poke with the Motorpsort rims due to the extra rim width (8J compared to 7.5J), plus the extra 9mm offset so a total of 15mm wider 

Just to add the seller of these is round the corner from me and I've used them many times, huge parts place attached to Crewe Audi
