        I'm not 100% on the company structure but they're Eta Beta Venti-Rs - which list in Italy directly, but also fall under the MB Design banner in Germany.

        Definitely a lot of VAG fitments to choose from, but these do look like 20s and in their 'deep concave' fitment judging by the extra depth in the centre of the wheel.. so they may be 20 x 9 ET38; but there are more standard fitments in x 8.5 ET45 available as well.

        I'm not sure if anyone is distributing these locally; a private import with full freight would most likely run into a cost starting with a 4.

        • Wagon Wednesday rolls on with some Kosei K8Rs in 17 x 8. They're going to look a bit more resolved with a centre cap; although the wide centre and design have resulted in a 'big looking' 17 IMO:

              Hey they got it right on the Mk7 with silver Pretorias.. and then proceeded to dish up Cadiz to us.

              Needs more lows.
              .. again words I never thought I'd hear from you.

                Cadiz almost put me off buying the car altogether. To the point that I was unmoved by a rather attractive sales woman tried to convince me that girls like her like them.
                I wound up going for one with Cadiz only because they wouldn't discount the Wolfsburg by as much.
                They've grown on me a little, but they'll definitely be changing at some point.

                  Wheels are certainly subjective, but geez you are dedicated if they almost cost you an R.

                  And chicks don't dig Cadiz - she's a fraud.

                  My issue with the whole Cadiz thing really centred on the fact that Euro guys get them^^^ Pretorias as a $1,500 odd option, whereas (apart from the Wolfsburg edition) the only chance of getting a set was paying $6-8,000 depending on whether it was a private import or the odd dealer that was willing to buy a set in. Which is a shame because they are one of the best OEM wheels VW has got.

                  (and why a 221kw Euro R uses 6.9l/100km under their tests, whereas the detuned R locally uses 7.1l/100km and thus didn't qualify as a fuel efficient vehicle for tax purposes.. when that was relevant, not sure the R clips the tax level anymore but I guess that's a discussion for a different thread)

                  As for a wheel change, plenty of sweet OZ, BBS and HRE wheels that will sit just right. And chicks dig them. I've asked.

                      Thankfully buying it at a discount avoids the luxury car tax threshold, but yeah, since when do stated fuel economies apply in real life anyway?

                      I had a lot of other options in cars at the time. Loved the R at the time, but could have easily gone elsewhere if I didn't get the right deal. I've grown far more fond of it since owning it.

                      I saw a LSG MK7 R with gloss black wheels in Macquarie Centre a few weeks ago. Looked fantastic. Helped that it was lowered as well. Should have taken a photo! Now I don't know what they were...

                        Agreed the fuel figures won't be achieved - more a point of interest while I was re-checking that Euro Pretoria price option.

                        Black on LSG is a good combo, I'd be looking at something like the HRE FF01s which can be had quite sharply still (as below, revisited from last week), although I do have bias towards the OZ ST LMs, Ultraleggeras or Leggera HLTs in black as well:
