So THAT'S where our wheels came from...

[Dr. Woo]

So I was looking through some VW photos today and I found out where our 17" wheels came from.

Yep. From a minivan.

I think you mean the minivan has our wheels.

I think you mean the minivan has our wheels.

This vehicle was released in 2005. It's the VW Sharan Special.

The NA GTI came out in 2006. We were the wheels' first market on the GTI.

EDIT: From the press release:

The Sharan Special's exclusive character is clear at a glance: special colours, for example "moonlight blue pearl effect" ("black magic pearl effect" and "reflex silver metallic" are also available) and its "CLassiXs" 17-inch alloy wheels in crossed spoke design.

Good think I sold my minivan wheels, I knew there was something setting of my spidey sense with those.:bellyroll:

Lol, good thread.

These wheels are also the stockers on the Golf GT, which for anyone with less free time for GTI trivia, is the model with the twincharged 1.4 and 170 hp. I don't care for those wheels on that model either.

 

[RedlineMotorworks]

bah, they look amazing on the GTI nevertheless
