The 118TSI and103TDI Comfortline come standard with 16" Cleveland Alloys. Bet you did not know they cost $1150 EACH to buy as a part :eek:
Nearly had to replace one on my 2 day old car this week (See the Tyres (http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newforum/upload/showthread.php?t=28107&page=2) thread.) Fortunately the rim damage was readily repairable and it is all back like new again. Phew.
Makes me wish I had a TMPS system. On the other hand I might not get another flat for 10 years. Some one elses turn now.

Wow that's a lot! If I ever get to upgrade to 18" wheels, might put my 17" Seattles on ebay to see how much I can get back!

The 18" Topas wheels from VW are $ 2,745.60 :eek:

Is that each or for four? S'Pose it could be each. Either way total robbery. My VW dealer mentioned one of the Touareg Alloys is around $4,000 a piece. I just sold my last car for less than that and it was a going concern with rego and 4 alloys!!!

That's for the 'rim kit' which I assume means you get all 4. They are $783 each. Can find a lot of nice wheels for that price
