Which alloys are these?
Hi guys,
I'm sorry if this is not the correct category to post but I couldn't think of a better one...
I'm about to order a new Beetle TDI but I'm stuck at the alloys at the moment. First of all, there doesn't seem to be an accessories folder for the
New Beetle unlike for the other models VW makes. So it's hard to get an overview of what's available. Secondly, in the main folder for the New
Beetle most cars have alloys on them that I cannot find anywhere and my dealer said he didn't know either.
You can see what they look like here:
- http://www.billbuckle.com.au/volkswagen/new_beetle_miami.htm
- http://www.billbuckle.com.au/volkswagen/new_beetle_TDI.htm
Does anybody have any idea what these are called and if they are really available? Even on European websites I couldn't find them.
If these alloys don't exist I'm inclined to buy the "Evolo STP" which I think is the new name for the "Evolva" I think?
Thanks,
Vincent. |

Firstly please understand that I know nuthn about these things, however those wheels remind me of any stock alloy that comes on just about any GMH,
Ford, Nisan etc, don't look too smart to me, if your guna pay $ extra for them then why not go for an aftermarket set and make it truley distinktive.

Hi
I too know nothing about New beetles...
but those alloy wheels look really good IMHO..
Genuine alloy wheels cost a packet
If You damage one on a gutter
it will be cheaper to purchase four NEW alloy wheels from a tyre shop.... its the same for all imported cars..
those wheels look much better than the alloys on all New beetles I've seen....
