lupogtiboy Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 yes you can buy them from a vw dealer! part number 357 601 025m, priced at £39.55 each including vat! there is a choice of 2 centrecaps, a smooth one which covers the centre completely (357 601 147 d 7vl and £11.39 each inc vat), or a black cap that shows the wheelnuts (like a polo-shape caddy van) part number 871 601 171 priced £4.55 each inc vat.

Philplop Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Edit: put up a picture of Dubya's GTI on steelies, but they were Golf Driver, not G60 steels, I think. Edited August 18, 2006 by philip_wilkinson1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Red 16v Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) thanks for the part numbers, i shall go to the dealer tomorrow and see what the krak is. I wish it was that low, i might change my plans and ditch the idea of buying springs and save for some weitec coilovers. £400 odd i think.Mainly because theres no point in lowering it on springs, it destroyed my saxo vtr, or maybe that was beacuse it was a frenchy!! eh lol Edited August 18, 2006 by Daz Red 16v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 i got a new set of g60 steel wheels about 8 months ago from VW. I will tell u though to inspect the wheels carefully when you get them as they are sent out loose and not in a box so most of them tend to come damaged and scratched, it took my local dealers 8 wheels to get 4 that where mint, plus they knew i was fussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxg Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I've done a bit more digging. I think if you order through vagparts over at uk-polos, they should be able to beat the dealer price. They were quoting £29.68 per wheel back in May although you would then have delivery which might rule out any saving.Am I right in thinking that a 15 x 6 Wheel takes a 195 wide tyre? It's just that 195 != 6 inches. (Can you tell I've not done this before?!)Deek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Red 16v Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Ok, well ill give the dealer a try and see what there price is, then ill try vagparts and see if any money can be saved. In reply to Deek yes that pic of a mk2 has the G60 steels on, and how sweet does it look. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWR Lupo Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 no you cant buy them from a dealer. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />I got some in from my local dealer a couple of weeks ago for a friend but maby thats what they had left in stock style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxg Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I got mine ordered this morning. Asked the guy to check with VW that they were in stock before acccepting the order and he confirmed they were still available. Assuming those are the correct part numbers, off course, because the purchase order just says "wheel"...So, 16 left and counting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxg Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 yes you can buy them from a vw dealer! part number 357 601 025m, priced at £39.55 each including vat! there is a choice of 2 centrecaps, a smooth one which covers the centre completely (357 601 147 d 7vl and £11.39 each inc vat), or a black cap that shows the wheelnuts (like a polo-shape caddy van) part number 871 601 171 priced £4.55 each inc vat.Well, those black caps do not fit those wheels. They look similar to the photo in the thread, but are designed for a wheel with a *much* bigger centre spigot than that on the wheels... They also have openings for the bolt heads to pass through, which might not be the same...Does anyone else have alterantive part numbers?! Hopefully, it's the centre cap that's wrong, rather than the wheel - otherwise this will have been a very expensive thread. Will find out tomorrow after I buy a trolley jack.Deek. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxg Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thought I would add a pic for clarity. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />You can just about make out the tabs on the rear of the centre cap that are supposed to fit through the centre hole on the wheel. The size difference is obvious, even from this pic.I've also noticed these wheels are ET35, and the Bathrusts(sp?) are 40-something. Hmm.It will be a restless night until I can find out tomorrow if I've just pissed my money up the wall...(And I had plans for doing something special with these wheels, too).Deek. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 m8 there the right centre caps, i thought exactly like u wen i put them on my car. there quite clever really. the tabs dont do in to the hole in the centre, wen you put the bolts in the wheel the tabs just touch the under side of the bolt and wen all the bolts are in it gets held in place nice and tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it too much cos you CANNOT get these wheels in an ET40... I'm not gona say stop moaning - cos i'd probably be pissed off too, but try the centre caps before you tell everyone their wrong, you'll be pleasently suprised.I'd also like to add, DO NOT USE THE SAME WHEEL NUTS THAT YOU USE FOR YOUR ALLOYS AS THESE WILL BE TOO LONG...ABS Sensors dont come cheep...
