    $1720 for genuine alloys...

    I have never had to buy wheels for a car before but thought I would option 16" Sima alloys on a 2012 Jetta.

    Is $1720 a joke? I have been trying to google alternative places to source these but with no luck in Australia.

    I really like the car but why should I have to pay almost 2 grand for something that is standard on every other car I have looked at? Not impressed

    Optioning alloy rims from the dealer is generally a massive waste of money unless you can negotiate it into the deal. Buy the car with standard wheels and just keep an eye on ebay. People tend to offload OEM rims very cheaply when they upgrade to bigger wheels.

    Also if youre looking to do it to improve the aesthetics id be looking at 17" wheels. 16s tend to look a bit boring.

          Id imagine most companys charge similar or include it as part of a deal as Tim said.
          Just wait for some to pop up on ebay or forums etc, bargains can be had

            Yes I got genuine 17's off ebay, the guy lived close by and I paid $350 for something VW wanted $1680 for!

            Sure they are used but near perfect, look out on ebay and gumtree.
