HELP - 18" wheels = name & where can i by them here in OZ

[FIR-26T]

HEY fellas,

Im after these particular wheels. 18"x8, 5x112, machined with inside of the wheel in the colour black. See image below.


Found them on EBAY but this particular distributor in UK is experiencing trouble with his courier company and is charging double for postage costs then stated.... Also the inside of the wheel is silver NOT black.....
18 | eBay


Just wondering what is the actual name of these 18" alloy wheels and can i buy them here in OZ?????

The reason why i ask is because Ive seen a couple of GTI's roaming around the streets with these particular style rims...

I like them and want a set.....

Cheers

The new Mk6 GTI has those as an option. Otherwise you can get OEM replicas from Tempe Tyres or similar.

I believe they are called detroit's.
18" set from the mk6 GTI.

Volkspower in victoria had a set of brand new looking 18" genuine OEM wheels and tyres for $2500 when I was there on monday. I thought that was a pretty good price including rubber

if you want export out of UK, give www.ukbrandsworldwide.com a yell

they are a freight forwarding company and quoted me around £180 for airfreight to Oz.

you just get the seller to deliver to to them in sturdy boxes

If you ever want to know the name, stud pattern, size of an audi/vw wheel you should bookmark this site:

It has all the wheels archived with pics and specs. According to the site they are VW Huffeisen aka Detroit.

From VW spares, I got quoted $3000 for the 18" Huffeisen/Detroit wheels.....
BUT if i buy a car from them, as an option they will only cost $1300 or so....

Thats because they are an factory option upgrade wheel set. So you order the car it cost $1200 more to get it with the 18's over the 17's

ECSTuning has them.
Just had a quick look under 18" wheels for the mk6 GTI.
