19" Gen Brescia's WANTED

Thanks everyone. So I have collected a 2019 GTI PP! Going to look in to Eibachs me thinks. Really happy with the car!! Out of interest does anyone know if fitting Eibachs voids warranty? Cheers!

short answer probably yes, your warranty will be void on things like dampers and possibly suspension and steering related items. If your on good terms with your dealer then it might not be an issue.

Don't think it voids you warranty for non-related parts so if the paint starts peeling off you'll be fine. But if for instance, you fit lowering springs and you had an issue with one of the dampers, you might find they put the blame on the springs and don't pay up. And the same for say bushes or another suspension related part that they can easily pass the blame onto the aftermarket part.

Others may be able to clarify further.

There's a section called parts for sale which is the best place to post this.

Also, check out https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/wheels-19-inch-rims-brescia-golf-7-gti-genuine-volkswagen.htm

Cheaper than UK dealers but will need to factor in postage.

How about looking on eBay?

Hi Jim,

Ok so I have been emailing Kunzmann regarding these wheels. All seems to be fine and well, although they state the Part number on their website as - 5G0071499BFZZ. I checked at my local Aberdeen VW and the Part number for the Brescia alloy is - 5G0601025CL. Now this could be a typo on their part. When I ask them, they don't really take on the fact they have the wrong part nunber, yet claim the wheels are original direct from VW. I hope they are don't get me wrong! I have asked for a photo of behind one of the wheels the see what is stamped. My question for you is, do you know of anyone who has purchased these wheels, to see their buying experience and the authenticity of the alloys?

Cheers buddy

I haven't but some others may have. This company have been shared on here a lot for various GTI parts so hopefully, someone will be able to put your mind at ease. Seems odd to have different numbers.

Yeah hopefully, I have no doubts its all legit but seeing as it's coming from germany I just want to be sure. The price seems almost too good to be true also. I ain't complaining though if it's the real deal lol. Yeah once I asked about the part number, the guy said "I can not answer that question, sorry" 

Cheers

If you Google each of the part numbers, the results for each part number return Brescia alloys.

Interestingly 5G0601025CL is described as VW Golf mk7 Clubsport Brescia alloy from the Google search, whereas 5G0071499BFZZ isn’t - it’s just described as a Brescia alloy. Is it possible there’s some subtle difference in the ‘normal’ Brescia and the Brescia that was an option on the Clubsport?

Interestingly, most of the websites with part number 5G0071499BFZZ are German websites, so is it possible that part numbers are different in mainland Europe (unlikely?);

I’d be surprised if they weren’t the genuine article, especially as there are multiple sites selling these wheels with part number 5G0071499BFZZ, and some of these are VW sites.
