rally wheels

[toastyjosh]

Anyone ever seen these wheels or ever heard of them?
I think 400 is a bit steep. If they are super light weight I am down.
Let me know what you think. If I should get them or not.

I've never seen those wheels before, but they look like the real deal.

What the heck does "PRICE EACH all" mean? Is that $400 per wheel or all four? Obviously I'd hope that was all four but crazier things pop up on CL. What is the weight on them?

 

[toastyjosh]

400 for all 4.

I need to find out the weight.

I cant find any info online.

someone here says the 15x7 are 15-16 pounds each

With the original craigslisting using the words 'rare', 'ultra light', and 'hard to find', you can bet they think they ought to be $400 each. Particularly since 'each' is in caps.

The downside to such a set is you can't get a replacement if you ding one beyond repair.

And 16# is right in the ballpark for the ubiquitous Avus wheel, so I don't think they are any great shakes. Just overpriced. For that kind of $$, you'd be better off getting a set of Enkei F1s. IMO.

Cheers!

I would leave those for someone with a Quattro who needs the wheels to put it back to original spec. Your '03 golf uses 5x100, not 5x112 bolt pattern, so those will not work anyway.

If you want rally style wheels, check out the Sparco Terra. They are fairly cheap new from Tire Rack and designed by OZ. I have a set on my Jetta that I like a lot.

Yeah, those are old Audi GT wheels, and are not the correct ones for your car anyways. They are pretty rare, I'd want them to find a home on the original car myself.
