The wheels are Rondell 02RZ, Steve.
I sold them eventually after deciding to fit the VW Motorsport Scirocco Cup wheels to the R.
As ever with polished wheels, the whiteworm set in on one of them so I didn't ever get round to putting them on the R.
I'd originally intended to keep the Rondells as summer wheels and use the Scirocco Cup alloys for winters but alas the whiteworm beat me to it so the Motorsport wheels stayed.

I was going from looking at cars with very dark rear tints in the works car park so probably just talking out of my rectum but have to agree the dark tints do look mean, however on my standard tinted three door the rear windows were quite small and the tint seemed pretty dark as standard. It's only £95 so worth a punt either way...
I'd still spec the parking pack though! I hardly ever used it but when needed it saved my expensive wider than standard alloys a couple of times.

Gratuitous shot of my R with Scirocco wheels

Thanks guys cant wait to get it now, just gave the go ahead few hours ago so dealer will confirm leadtime in the coming day/week.

Re: tints. I have blacked out glass on my st and i polish/wax the tinted glass and this keeps it from getting water marks on.

Interested in the pedal box, any links for further info?
What does it do etc??

Will keep you all posted of the progress

Really like the anthracite Motorsport wheels on your Golf R Exonian :cool:. So much so, that I recently bought a set of the 17" version for my GTI Polo and I'm really pleased with them. They're only made in black or white now in 17" size for the Polo (5x100 bolt pattern) and I was lucky enough to get one of the last sets in anthracite.

Good shout! I love the new Polo GTIs, do you have any pics of the car on the new wheels?
I do like the anthracite colour, they always look darker in pictures than they do in real life, aside from when they're a bit covered in brake dust that is! I'm quite easy on the brakes so I'm sure the traction control often pulses the brakes as my wheels are often dirtier than they should be.

I was in and out quick like a commando attack, I don't think anyone spotted me!

That looks really good, lovely looking car and top work with the shine too :afro:

Cheers Andy.
I also like the wheels on your R. They suit that colour.
