theyre stupidly expensive!
oempl.us sell them for over $2500US for the set! Theyre probly close to $1000 a corner here or something stupid.
Id either wait for a set to pop up second hand. Which they do tend to from time to time. Or pick some nicer aftermarket rims.

07 or 08 R32 rims?

I got a set of factory 08 R32 rims. PM me if you wanna buy it off me.

fitting oem wheels aftermarket is boring... think of the rims you could get for the same money: more classy, better looking, unique and lighter and stronger

[Jester_Fu]

Yeah, the MTM Bi Turbo rims look very farkin' noice on the current golf. About the same money as the OEM's and a better looking rim, IMHO. One of the guys here has them on a TDI - http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...cca+motorsport . Sexiest after market rim, IMO.

OEM rim weights *can* be deceptive. I know the current 18"s on the Golfs are heavier than most after market, but my last car there was one manufacturer producing a rim lighter than the OEM - Oz - and you had to buy the full competition spec wheel; the touring version worked out 1/2kg heavier than the OEM.

"Info: Wheels arrive with VW or Audi centre badge. These are not original wheels however they are an EXACT replica. They are made with the same fine materials as the original wheels and carry a comprehensive Lifetime Structual Warranty."

How 'EXACT' was it? As far as I know the 'EXACT' R32 wheels where 18x7.5 not 18x8 n:

Good price though =)

18x8 is better than 18x7.5! more rigid sidewall...

[BarneyBoy]

Yes, REALLY good price.

Nice looking wheels, but look a bitch to keep clean. I actually still like the Mk4 R32 wheels

[balkanac]

MK4 R32 wheels are just as bad, especially coz of the big brakes and the amount of dust that is coming off them!!! Unbeliavable!!! I think i'll go EBC Greenstuff pads, apperently much less dust

I'm with you, balkanac. Even my GT's brakes do that. Give them a nice clean and then a quiet lap 'round the block to spin the water off, and the rears (particularly) are covered in chunky black spots. Grrr...

I'd love to hear how the EBCs go... perhaps you could post your impressions?

Has anyone bought a set of these R32 replicas from Tempe Tyres? I am considering a set for my Jetta but being in Perth, I cant see them in person.
