Hi guys, new to this forum.
I currently have a set of the 18" R32 alloy wheels on my Golf. I purchased the car about 2 weeks ago and the wheels came on the car. Is there an easy way to tell if they are genuine R32 wheels and not cheap repo's? I have a quick look and they have made in Italy stamped on the inside.
Secondly i'd like to swap/px these wheels with a set of 17" standard Monza wheels. I know alot of you folks have upgraded your wheels and wondered if there are any spare sets lying in your garage somewhere!? i'm after a set in as close to A1 condition as possible and with tyres. Likewise if anyone has a set they just wanna sell rather than p/x can you let me know.

Sounds like they are reps. Genuine VW wheels will have a VW stamp along with a VW part number (1J0...). Genuine wheels are 7.5" wide and most reps are 8" so this is another way to tell.
-
I have a set of 17'S that will be up for sale in two weeks with excellent Conti Tyres. One minor mark.
Where are you based?
-
depending which .:R32 reps you have, i might know a buyer for you too :happy2:
-
Gti Jal sounds great and just what I'm after. Do you have a price in mind? I am in Edinburgh but can arrange couries etc.
Very cherry: i will have a look at the wheels tonight and confirm if they are indeed reps and the details. I will also take so pics.
My email address is M_Legge@hotmail.co.uk if you both prefer to discuss things via email

Why not go for the 18's Monza II's? I think Red Robin has a genuine set for sale.

They're not with tyres though. I'd rather sell my genuine Monza 17's - Also not with tyres:
