G60 Steels...
« on: 22 August 2006, 21:08 »
Ok, finally got my G60 wheels :) Complete with top of the range kumho 195 50 15 tyres, all for £250 brand new :D I think thats a pretty fair price?!

Let me know what you think.... I'm sure that some better pics will follow...

They look smart.

So what's the deal with these, are they lighter then the alloys and hence more sought after?

Well, they are lighter than most alloys and they're still made by VW, I think. Think a lot of people like the look of them, and sometimes alloys are just a pain in the behind.
Few gallons of wonder wheels, anyone?

alot of people use them as winter wheels as they are 15's and are more hard wearing than alloys. more so nowadays as people like the oem thing and having an oe steel for winter means you can have a lush polished set for summer.

I'd pretty much had the car sorted looks wise, except for the wheels, and a few others... So i wanted some new ones, but didnt want to spend a lot. Tell me somewhere that i could pick up alloys for less than £25 each, that are made as well as the OE VW ones? That, and they look pretty good on other peoples cars, so i thought i'd go the same route :)

Only thing is, they look really bright on the car, still got to get used to them!

I really like them, only problem is they are so skinny, arn't they only 6.5J ?
I wish banded steels were legal in this country! or VW made fatter wheels !

They are a little thinner than i'd imagined, but still pretty fat, and i believe they are 7J. I have 195 50 15 on them too...





:D More pics soon :)
