cardaft Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Although on second thoughts, im not sure they are the same!Those in the above picture are from a 2.0TDi SE Toruan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Cardaft, you really do have a bible of knowledge when it comes to trims, its quite scary! Its not a bad thing though Edit:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-VOLKSWAGEN-16-NEW...1QQcmdZViewItemThis trim is very similar to the one on the Lupo above, which is indeed a New Beetle trim. Go for it me cap'n!Second edit: !!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-VW-Volkswage...1QQcmdZViewItemThey are also listed on the bay for a Touran, so they may use the same trims on both models?

Little Green Giant Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 ah for a set of 4 too! right, could i fit them to the 13" wheels do you think and just have them overlapping the tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 like the sado i am i have studied each trim and i think these are the touran trims. they have 7 spokes and the beetle ones have 8 among other differences! i want, but like i said anyone know if they will fit?

Little Green Giant Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 p.s is there any 16" steels that will fit straight onto the loop? ive had a search but cant find any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 It might look strange on the 13's with the trim overlapping, as it will be overlapping quite a bit. But i reckon they will look great on top of some 15 inch steels, maybe find a set of trusty G60's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 yeah perhaps i should do that! or something a lot cheaper! hmmm maybe il just buy them and try it if they look gay il have to buy new wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thats the thing with G60's, they can go for silly prices, they do look good though. There is a brand new set on the bay for £150 at the moment, which isn't bad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Cardaft, you really do have a bible of knowledge when it comes to trims, its quite scary! Its not a bad thing though Hmm, im not sure its a good thing right, could i fit them to the 13" wheels do you think and just have them overlapping the tyres?The thing with overlapping that much is when the tyre flexes (as you go round corners or are on full steering lock) then the trims will probably come into contact with the tyre and the tyres might pop the trims off? Unless you have a stiff sidewal or lots of air in the tyres!Another useless 'trim information i know is ................. The Rover ShCity Rover was recalled due to its wheel trims, the poor design ment they dug into the tyres as they flexed and cut the tyres! So they were recalled and fitted with cheapos Now that is sad But watch out for them doing the same!
