Title: Rather nice wheels
Post by: monte on April 17, 2010, 10:23:04 pm

I really love the style of these wheels. They are gorgeous. Only thing is, is that they are for a VW Transporter.  :sad1:

Has anyone seen them before? perhaps on a mk5?

I contacted the seller to see if they could get them in the correct fitment  for the Golf mk5. They replied saying "Sorry these will never fit the mk5" :confused:

So I replied asking again if they could get the same style wheel for the mk5 golf, but got no reply.

Anyway, here is the link. If anyone has any ideas how to get hold of them please let me know.  :smiley:

They look like BMW reps of some sort?

That little vacant square above the centre cap is usually where the 'M' symbol goes on BMW genuine wheels/reps?
Not my cuppa tea but if you pursue them, fair play  :happy2:

Just looked into it mate the PCD for these wheels is 5x120 the mk5 is 5x112 so they wont fit. If they were off a T4 transporter they would depending on offset as the T4 is 5x112 :happy2:

I'd love to see these on a GTI. Graphite would be nice but silver better. They seem to be ever so softer than normal diamond cut R8 reps
