Evening all,
First, I wanted to share some quick background info as I recently come across what are perceived as a rare find: Aluminum polished VW Pretoria rims. I recently decided to find a set for the car but they were very difficult to find second hand (Zero chance I was paying $500 per rim plus tires for all brand new stuff). Instead, I reached out to a friend who advised me to search via PART NUMBER instead of the name of the part. I am not exactly sure if this method has been used by other previously but I managed to find a person in MA selling a half new/ half used set for $800 w/ continental all season tires. So I drove from NY to MA, picked up the set and installed them. They’re a phenomenal set and I’m looking very forward to driving them.
HOWEVER...
The reason why I’m making this thread is that I need to find the correct wheel spacers (and MAYBE some bolt coverings) In order to make the rims look flush for my GTI. Recommendations would be appreciated!
