What deal did you get?

[Andych]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the offset for the Rocco different to the Golf R? 41 for the Rocco compared to 51 for the Golf?

I am not sure on the Golf R offset... but you are correct with the Roc at 41... Hmmm might need 10mm spacers all round.. I can't see the Dealer doing that as they are not considered legal here.

I looked into it a couple of weeks ago as I wanted black tallies too, was going to do a swap with a Golf R owner, Golf R is definitely 51. Hence why I'm having mine powder coated.

Are you going Gloss Black or a Gloss Anthracite?

Thinking Gloss Anthracite. Just waiting for some spare wheels to come in that fit the Rocco whilst mine get done.

Have a look at the RS6 wheels on this Black Roc Scirocco Central • View topic - My black Scirocco: R-front & R-exhaust fitted

They are classed as Gunmetal... I think that sort of colour would be spot on for Rising Blue...
I also really like the Black Chrome effect but not sure how you would get it done.

Hi she_dub, hmmm looks like the salesman has no idea. He did mention the possibilty of sending them away to get powder coated and sprayed if he had difficulties swapping the rims. I guess he just told me anything to get the sale over the line as I told him i wanted original ones(either way I was going to put an order in). So by the sounds of it, im guessing im getting sprayed ones if they dont fit.
I wouldnt have had a clue about the different offset, thanks for the tip. Will make sure to contact the salesman to make sure he doesnt put the Golf R ones on.

Oooh that's a nice finish and would look stunning on the RB. Now I just need to find out how to get it done on the tallies.

No problem Stos! Just didn't want you to get your hopes up. If they mentioned that they will get it powder coated for you, then they must realise that the swap wasn't going to be that straight forward.
Other than that, I hope it all works out

I shouldn't have shown you those wheels... now I am wondering how they would look on a CW... lol.

Hahaha! You know they'd look amazing on CW! Do it!

Edit: I'm trying to find them, but no luck so far

The way Sydney's roads are lately I am starting to think about a set of RS6 Repro's and keep the Tallies safe...

You could definitely get them painted in Gunmetal... not sure about Powder Coating though...

Although I did find this Dulux Powdercoat colour selector...

I was offered Tallie rep's in black for my car, but I turned them down. I don't have space to store the original Tallies, especially not when I move back to Sydney.

I find that to be just a touch too dark... why not get them painted...easy enough to choose the colour you want and easy to have them repaired if needed......

[ozr]

for those shopping for VW in Darwin NT ...Barramundi will look afta you.

And a special thanks to anyone???????

Well, yesterday whilst washing my car, I noticed I have a chip in the rear left wheel from a pot hole I wasn't able to avoid

Ouch... mine actually had a mark when I picked it up... the dealership arranged for it to be fixed so all is good now.. but I cringe every time there is a pothole that can't be avoided... and then I watch for the Tire Pressure alarm... lol
