Might have luck on vwvortex. Ton of GLI/20th/337 guys over there. I have been casually looking and condition varies greatly and prices seem to be in the $500-800 ish range some with/some without tires.

good luck!... these wheels are soft as warm butter and seem to bend if you look at them cross ;).... i had a set and three of the four were bent (two were unrepairable) ... i gave up and bought a set of tsw nurburgrings ... lighter and stronger than the gli wheels...

I like the idea of OEM-style wheels, if they look right. I've seen some with clear-coat peel and lots with some scratches or curb rash. There is a set that I'm looking at on the vw vortex, but they guy is slow as he** getting back to me...

There are lots of wheels out there for sure. The ones you have are beautiful, but a bit pricey. I have a set of 17" TSW Vortex wheels and love the quality, just looking for a clean, relatively inexpensive ($800 range) 18" set of wheels & tires. ECS Tuning has a set of wheels I'd buy, but they are back ordered till April 18th

Who knows, may just roll with what I have for now

I have a set but they're not perfect but I am open to offers if anybodies interested. I can ship too. Might have to get multiple sets to find a full set of really good ones that won't kill your wallet.

Thanks, Blindsider. I'm going to keep looking for a set of GLI wheels. I prefer the finish on the GLIs over the 337 wheels

^^ not my sale but believe it or not these used to be my wheels and tires ... so i can vouch for the condition ... i sold a y2k golf last month with these bronze tsw's but i guess the new owner wants something different :rolleyes: ... my current 05' golf has the gunmetal nurburgring

With tires, the price wouldn't be too bad. Looks to be pretty pricey without tires though.

Nice. I'm afraid shipping would kill on the link. Love the matte black :cool:

Those are nice, if they are nice grippy tires that would be a sweet setup.
