What wheels are these??

Post by Nij »

Spotted in Tesco today, I really like these wheels, but does anyone have a clue what they are from? Nice peperpot design, kinda like the 80's 205 1.6 GTi

They are a VW option, I don't know what they are called in the UK but over here they known as Cheese Holers (Käselöcher).
They fetch big money when they pop up on the bay.

They are known here as the early carat alloys, manufactured by Atiwe - here's a picture of the 14" version (I got a spare set of them with winter tires when I bought my van)

It's the 15" version that fetches the really big money (especially from syncro owners, because there are hardly any AT tyres in 14" available anymore). I've seen the 14" version go for moderate prices (around 200€ for a set of four) on Ebay.de, but shipping costs to UK would be an issue.
Cheers, André

There's 3 sets on ebay.de as we speak.
The last set went for 400€ - if you could get them for 200 you'd be extremely lucky.

Painted all silver like that they don't look much different to steel wheels.... :shock:
I've seen them in Gold with pollished rims...that looks nice.
