About time for another set of HREs, but not our usual fare - some P104s:

Winner! Thanks, I might give that a go in a few weeks and see how it looks for real.

Much win! I'd rock the lambo wheels if I could find some, not that easy to find 2 sets of fronts

Look forward to some pics.

When I was looking up specs I was surprised how many Lambo wheels were for sale in the USA, but regardless finding something fitment friendly AND chancing multiple overseas private purchases is a big call. Better to find a similar design and some Lambo caps.

Another look at the OZ Superturismo LM - seems like nearly everyone plumps for the graphite finish:

The FF15 is nice, but somehow I just don't think it suits the Golf - at least in that size (I'm guessing they're 18"?). The OZs do seem to work much better IMO (presumably 19"):

What would a set of these be worth in AU, landed?

IIRC, the guy running the 18s lives out in the sticks and his roads are not friendly - but yes I think the OZs are a winner on the Golf, the HREs perhaps are more Audi.

Mmm, lots - you'd quickly fall in love with the similar OZ Leggera HLTs and roll with them.

I'd be guessing a number pushing towards $15k judging by US prices. The P104 is set up for custom orders, and has some magic concave action on a fat rear - those on that R are not really doing them justice.

Hey Dutch. Nice thread. New to the forum here. Do you know how much a set of these LMs in 18" would be and a good place to source them?

Will do!

Now I need to decide if I keep my gloss black Pretorias in storage, or sell them & get a set of multispoke rims to alternate with the rotors - I'm still liking the IND-T or Superturismo

Costa (XXX-18T) still has some genuine ones, they were floating around the forums years ago.

If you're a seller let me know.

I guess people who can drop $600k on a car can do wheels as well - although from my experience they are mostly badge posers with no interest in the wheels or car itself anyway.
