Trying to find pics of 17'' Karthoum wheels ??

[arnette64]

Does anyone has already seen a mkv with 17'' karthoum (not 18'')??
And if yes does it look ok or does it look like sh*t?

If someone have pics of it it would be better to see what it look like..

thnaks!!

Yes, they do exist. I have them and use them as my winter wheels. I'll try to find pictures.

hopefully these are the right pictures... I can't see hosted images at work but these are from a picture post thread of mine.

if you go to the drivergear store you will see that there are 17 inch karthoums.. so don't spread false info

they are very very hard to come by

go to any VW dealer and you can order them. I was going to buy them from Bud at Checkered Flag, but it was cheaper and quicker (no shipping payment) for me to get them locally even though I had to pay more for the wheels themselves.

Minimaul-

Those are great pics of your car in the snow. The lighting is awesome. A great sense of desolation.

Thanks. That's what I was going for. I'm still a picture-taking-newbie but I have fun with it.

Sorry, can you link the 17" Karts on the Driver Gear site? I can't find them. Might actually be interested in them as a second set.

 

[arnette64]

thanks a lot for the pics

yeah i've seen it in the driversgear page so i wanted to see it on a car to see what they look like..

Wow. I found the wheels I want. Assuming anyone figures out where to buy the 17" Karts.
