Silver! Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Linz and Phantom Photon (if he's still around) are not allowed to play!Right all you wheel whores. I have just been to the refurbishers and picked up a set of wheels.They: are not rare, but no one has them on a Lupo or Arosa (I don't think!) (I hope not anyhow!) are older than most members have been in my garden for 2 year or more are, though just refurbed, dirty! I didn't realise until I looked at the photo'sCan you guess what they are? Here's a few photographic hints...Gone! - No 11 had too big a clue! Now replaced...Enjoy! Edited April 12, 2008 by Silver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 No idea! I see the arosa is getting some new boots though! Should they have full centre caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Thingys from an old Golf! - Too wild a guess.

Silver! Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Lunalupi: TARANTULA!! Am I close? Correct! - Beer for you at Edition38 The 11th pic had the part no.Philplop: Tarantulas?Correct! - Beer for you at The Lakes Camping Extravaganzasimpo: g40 bbs ra's?Incorrect - Lupo's are already wearing RA's. Tigz: Are they not Audi wheels?Incorrect - I thought the Audi Logo might be misleading, but I expected better of you.jeyesh: Spill the beans...heartagram: My bets on those. Spokes look all wrong to be BBS RAs!Correct! - Worthers Original for 3rdLupo-Gaz: look a bit like theseCorrect! Looked worse than those on Thursday when I dropped them off!Jowey:Correct!dash: they look too small for tarantulas. hmmm give me 5 minsHa! Your 5 mins is up and your still wrong!Jowey: lol lupo-gaz beat me to itCorrect! But no prize for 5th place.Picola: Is the answer 42?Yes and the cow lapped twice! dash: online etka isnt working, im goin with picola and saying 42.....You spelt "going" wrong and an elipses has only three full stops! So incorrect!Little Green Giant: they have an audi sign so not "tarantulas" surely? they do look like them though!Incorrect! Down the garden path with Tigz! Especially dissapointed with you as you were, if i remember correctly, considering putting some on.Thanks for all playing children. I'll get some full pics up once the tyres are blacked and I have waxed the wheels.Oh! and the removed photo no 11...And a Google.com search gets this site, which is quite interesting. Refers to them as "Creased 9 Spoke" If you change the number after the vw in the address between 1 and 9 and 010 you get loads of VW wheel info. Ray Edited April 8, 2008 by Silver!

Wheels, SEAT centres to fit, bolt covers, original bolts, tyres and a refurb took some time to get together!I also like the Bottle caps, but as they come with VW badged centres think they would suiut the Lupo better than the Arosa. I do have a mint set of VW centres for these also. Shame they won't fit the GTi!!Ray Edited April 8, 2008 by Silver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 wow you have had them for over a year then? they should look awesome! i has thinking of just spraying them black, so they would still look different! i dunno, i probably wont now!
