They look great! Would like a set myself but I'm not as dedicated to the cause as you!

Just tell the missus you're going on a road trip  :grin:
Lovely, well worth the drive!
Absolutely!
You do realise they are left hand drive wheels don't you?

Oh Bugger  :nerd:
They do look good to be fair, but why did you go all the way to Germany for them? :undecided:

I couldn't find any in the UK at the time plus it was an excuse to for a road trip.

Thanks for the kind words, people.

Wow! They look great. Not seen many in the flesh but when you do they always look special. Bet they’re really easy to clean too.

You should have bought two sets while you were there.

Then show yours off as bait and add on 10% to your spare set to cover your effort.

They do look nice I must say.

I thought it looked like you didn’t have any fitted but wondered if it was just the angle.

Thanks for the offer but I still have my own set bought for one of my other mk7’s a few years ago. I ran into insurance issues so removed them and they’re still sat in boxes somewhere.

They're a bit of a pain to clean tbh, especially when you've had Austin's which are the easiest wheel in the world to clean.

I've seen a few mention the wheel woolies now, might be my next purchase I reckon. I did coat them in Gtechniq C5 before they went on so I'm hoping that'll do a lot of the hard work for me.

Wheel Woolies are on my list for Santa this year albeit I suspect if I'm going to get them then I will need to don the red suit and white beard myself..... :rolleyes:
