New winter wheels vw Pretoria 18

[Mikeyd1]

Just fitting 18 genuine vw Pretoria wheels as the roads here are just pothole after pothole. I’ll tell u what tho those 19 inch extremes are super heavy.

Like them. They look tiny though. Smaller than 18” anyway. But for winter wheels I’m a fan.

Look good. I couldn't deal with 19s round here. Let alone 20s like a good friend has on an audi. Broke a spring on a pothole a few months ago. Still trying to argue with council highways who say if they check it once a year they're immune from being liable!!

Arnt the pretorias renown for been like butter. . 

 

Not many second hand sets about that arnt buckled or flat spotted when I've looked.

 

They are a good looking wheel though.

No these are the 18 inch version, the 19 inch version are flow formed and are meant to be stronger but are very prone to get flat spots.

There was also a Vw dealer somewhere in Scotland selling off genuine 18inch pretoria's in the past couple of years. . I remember seeing them when I was on a wheel search
