Default new wheels in sight :-)

was saving money but always used the funds to buy something else.
At work we had a competition and the prize was an iphone. Of course I won :-)
So the company agreed to buy my a voucher with the wheel/tyre crowd in the UK instead. I hope to order next week. can't wait.

Decided for Vintage 50s in 15x7 so I don't have to change tyres as well :-)
2nd option was 17x7 TT2s

can't wait

I was back and forth over Mag 500s and TTIIs (15x7) for weeks and even my 2 year old grandson was no help. I finally ordered the TTs on a whim when I was actually sold on the Mags and once I opened the box I never once regretted it. Some things just fit.

Just put a set on my wife's car and I am very happy with the look and quality of the wheels. Be sure to ask them about 'second' or 'blemished' wheels. I received a good discount for a set and I cannot see a thing wrong with them, and they balanced perfectly.
When I talked to them last week they had 8 sets ready.

I have to admit I asked them to quote me for TT2s (15x7) as well. they might even have them in stock ...

many have them so I wanted to avoid, but it's such a nice look ...

Great choice Kalli .. as AG pointed out above contact VWW in person and ask for 'second' or 'blemished' wheels. You'll save 40% to 50% on them! I was in a time crunch so spent full price however if I had known I'd have ordered a set sooner.

We have the 16x8s seen in my sig. Edit.. better wheel pic posted...

cool :-) i would have loved a set of 16s, but I'd need a new set of tires with it so I left it off.
I mentioned to the distributor to check for blemished as well :-) see what they say

beautiful car btw
