Up for sale are my OEM GTI wheels and tires (I currently have my snow setup on the car). The wheels are essentially perfect except for the one flaw that was polished out of the wheel, see photos including close up. The tires have approximately 12k miles on them. Using the infamous penny test, all tires appear to still have life left in them. Using a dial caliper, the lowest measured tread depth is 0.194" which is slightly greater than 6/32. Per tirerack, these tires have 9/32 of tread depth when new and per the internet, 4/32 is considered worn. With the current mileage on the tires and tread depth, they are wearing at a rate of 1/32 inch per 4k miles. Therefore, these tires conservatively have another 8k miles left in them.

I think 500 is a reasonable price for setup (400 for the wheels plus 25 per tire). However, i'm willing to entertain a reasonable offer so don't be shy. These wheels and tires would make a great upgrade for a golf/jetta or be a great spare setup for a GTI, GLI, or R. I'm currently looking to sell locally but if i can't move the wheels i'll consider boxing and shipping them.

I'd be interested, though i am in Denver. Really only need the rims for my winter set up but no harm in taking some tires too if necessary,i suppose.
Let me know if you resort to shipping. Also, what size are there rims?

Thanks for the interest Steve, i'll keep you in mind. I've shipped wheels and tires before, so while i know the drill it's a bit of a PIA.
Also snobrdrdan is correct, I believe the stock austins are 18x7.5 with a 49mm offset.

I've decided to consider shipping the wheels/tires to open up my sales market a bit. If interested let me know what your zip code is so that i can figure in shipping costs while we work out a deal.
-thanks
