Post by: andrewparker on November 24, 2010, 11:27:06 pm
Hi guys,

Does anyone know where I can buy a decent set of wheel storage bags?

[Subscribed - I'd like to know too]

Are you after bags for just the alloys, or with tyres on?

With the tyres on Robin, and markings showing which corner of the car the wheel is off.

I'm after some too as it happens!
Think Shaun (Blue_182) on here has some of the Audi oem bags iirc?, they are available via ebay.de for £43 posted but pretty sure they are only £25 via uk dealers, so far though i've been unable to get my local one to find the part numbers etc...

hahaha I was trying to search for these last night on the forum as I'm certain someone else posted up some Audi ones. Couldn't find them and was about to post up a thread.

The Audi ones a about 10 euros more but I got these due to the fact they go upto and over 19", the vw ones only said they would go upto 18", I thought it odd but didn't want to risk it so I got the Audi ones, they cost me about £25-£29 posted from Germany

I had a good search for the VW ones but couldn't find them, so I've ordered the Audi ones. Do you mind me asking how long they took to deliver?

If I get the Audi ones I'd better get a RS3 to go with it!  :evilgrin:

Both look very good indeed - Well made and with good graphics  :drinking:

I have exactly the same bags, but they've no VW/Audi markings. £20 off ebay iirc. They're really strong, no problems lifting a wheel with the handle.

Also, if you think about it, a 19" wheel has a 35 profile tyre, so it isn't much bigger than the equiv. 18".

Those TLS ones aren't as good quality as the ones 182 has.

$97 for the VW ones from ECS :surprised:

Yes i did thik this and even mentioned it on a thread on here, but when i checked with the dealers nobody could confirm if they would fit and why it only states 19", so i opted for the audi ones

Still haven't got the Audi ones yet though, and I ordered these after them.
