Title: GTI Pirelli Alloys wanted
Post by: jeru31 on December 21, 2017, 03:16:57 pm: Hey peeps, I recently bought a GTI Pirelli in black (which I love) but it didn't come with the Pirelli alloys, does anyone know where i can get a set from or is selling any that won't break my bank account? thanks

Post by: Stevemartin911 on December 24, 2017, 06:21:40 pm: Hi,
I have a set of Pirelli's on a none Pirelli car, they are very rare I got the only ones I have ever seen for sale, I needed a replacement after an argument with a pot hole, the only single one that I have ever seen and it came from Germany.
I really like them and would not wat to fit wheels that were not fitted to the car as OEM figment if I could avoid it.
So what wheels do you have that could be part of a deal perhaps ?
Regards
Steve
Have a great Xmas and new year everyone !

I've seen model exclusive wheels go for £6k before, mainly because a VIN was required to by them from the factory and then the sellers added £1000 on for themselves :stupid: and there were 422 of them vs the 222 of the Pirelli

Post by: Bodyboarder81 on December 29, 2017, 02:34:16 pm: So what your saying is keep my absolutely mint set of Pirelli Wheels in the bubble wrap( I run different Wheels on my Pirelli edition ) and don’t sell them :thinking:

Well if I had a Pirelli Edition, I'd keep the factory wheels incase I did ever sell it on, less of an excuse for someone to try and talk down the price for not just storing them. Especially when it's the interior and wheels that really set it apart as a Pirelli Edition.

Post by: mikezs on January 02, 2018, 02:41:14 pm: I saw a set on here when I bought my GTI a couple years ago: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=105814.0

I thought ~£600 delivered was a good price with tyres for a fair condition set

Post by: jeru31 on January 05, 2018, 04:13:46 pm: I'm not sure how much they go for, what a price you would be thinking about at selling them at?
Title: Re: GTI Pirelli Alloys wanted
Post by: Bodyboarder81 on January 05, 2018, 07:56:34 pm: I’m not really planning on selling to be honest ..... but everything’s got its price !

Post by: Dave J on January 06, 2018, 04:24:24 pm: I forget the member on here, but I know he had a set of Pirelli wheels on ebay for £1k a while back. Insane price for wheels, but if you want to keep the car original...!

Good luck on your hunt :happy2:

Heehee - yes, now I remember. Hope you got what you wanted for them. I wouldn't want to try and find a set! It was hard enough for me to find a single Pescara for my ED30!
