    Mystery wheels

    Anybody know what these are? Just back from Germany where I spotted them on this Golf.. They had Audi centre caps, as you can see in the second pic.

    Wonder how they'd look on the S2..?

    Any ideas?

      Are they S8?

      Edit: the golf and the S2 have a different PCD and I noticed that there is only one choice of holes.

      So that narows it to the golf variants?
      these include:
      Golf
      Audi TT
      Audi A3
      and finally my choice ends up as Audi S3?

      I'm not confident though!

        They must be replica whatever they are cos Golf's have diff PCD unless new Audi's have changed there PCD...

        Audi is 5x112
        VW is 5.100

        Not A8 if thats what you meant... not seen them before, but look like the kinda thing that something would fit as standard

                      Heh heh, I must admit the first time I saw them I wasn't convinced, but they kinda grew on me over a couple of days.

                      They looked like 18's though I admit to not actually checking, but in my defence I had a fair amount of Weissbier and red wine the previous evening...

                      However, what the f**k are they?

                        To be fair even though i dont like them, they do suit the car, which is the thing with alloys, the wheels you like doesn't always suit the car you own.

                          No No No No No!!!!! If they are genuine then whoever designed them needs sacking. Look almost as bad as a new 7 series Beemer!!

                            Seen these b4 on a golf on the continent. Think they are A8/S8 winter wheels and spacers have been used to change the PCD. this can be done cos the offset is more on these cars than goofs.

                              The owner of that golf must have lost a bet or something , because I can't beleive anyone in there right mind would spend money on those wheels. IMHO absolutely disgusting, I highly suggest staying away from these wheels or any wheel that even slightly ressembles them...

                              P.S.
                              I especially liked the comment about these wheels that refered to them as man hole covers.
