Hi,

Does anyone know the name at least of the 17" standard alloys that came with the UK mark 6 GTD (11 plate if it changed during production). I gave one of mine a right clang at 50mph the other day and am considering replacing it. With that in mind anyone know what one costs?

Cheers,

John

Might have found the name, possible Seattles. Picture (compressed badly) attached.

I assume mine are "shadow" as the inlays to the spokes are black and the silver of my wheels is the diamond cut finish. Not aware of an option in the UK for silver or shadow. The picture in the previous post is of my wheels, not a copy and paste from elsewhere.

Anyone know a price brand-new for these please? There are some second-hand ones on ebay at a decent price but without knowing the new UK price not sure of the value.

Not sure exactly; though most VW 17s run about $300-$400 new per wheel. Here is some more info for you on the wheel, including the part numbers it is under:

EDIT: Just found a post that may help:

IT is a little old, but gives you a feel for retail and discount rates if you can find a dealer to sell them at that price.

Really frustrating as I can't find them on the VW accessories site so assume I have either to go via a dealer (meaning I get shafted) or buy second-hand. Thanks for the replies fellas - much appreciated! :)

Yeah, for the cost of 2 replacements you could buy a full set of pretty much any used OEM wheel you wanted

Good luck with it!
