Advice needed, looking for wheels!

Post by Woody_ »

Hey guys!

Tomorrow I will pick up my black Scirocco and was looking around for some wheels. Found those and think they look pretty nice.

The middle part of each spoke (not sure if it's the correct word) and the edge of the wheel are polished while the rest is gun-metal.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures of those wheels fitted on cars, they also don't show up on the manufacturers homepage. So I contacted them and asked how that could be, they replied that "felgenoutlet.de", the dealer, bought a huge ammount when they withdrew the wheels from their range of products. Seems a little weird.

Do you think they would fit a black Scirocco, and are my worries justified?

Manufacturers will only carry designs for so long and then develop a new range. Are the wheels being offered cheaper if they're a discontinued line?
The reason I ask is because some years ago I had some Kahn alloys on my golf. One day I was involved in a bump and the rear wheel was beyond repair. By this time the design had been discontinued but I was lucky enough that the manufacturer had a wheel off a display stand and they sent me that. If it wasn't for this I would have had to replace the other 3 wheels at a cost to myself, not ideal!!
Just something to consider maybe, check that other suppliers are still carrying the design, you never know what's round the corner!
