Black Eos 2.0 FSI Chicago Wheels

Nigel, welcome to the site and congrats on the new car. Wish I could get free cash!

Looks very sharp! I love the way black looks...they are just more time consuming when it comes to cleaning. Apparently I'm getting lazy as I grow older.

Yeah, does look lovely in black and you had a nice sunny day for your photos!!!

Nice pics, gotta love those rims.

Does anyone know why the are called Chicago? Does this have anything to do with the U.S. city Chicago?

No idea why but VW loves to name their wheels and owners often swap for different OEM ones over after market ones.

Same reason they have 'Westwood' or 'Le Mans': someone at VW thinks it sounds cool!

Silly me. They are there in the VW accessories brochure. £26 for the front set. I ordered them from my dealer to be fitted when I take delivery. Firstly he had not heard of the rubber option and secondly he could not believe they were so cheap! He checked twice with HQ. " we just don't sell things at that price..." Shurely shome mishtake.

Be seeing you

Rikeos are you talking about the monster mats??

Monster mats came with our Eos. Living in So. Cal, where it never snows and hardly rains, I thought it was a huge waste.
However, having the cornsilk interior, I'm glad to have them...and if it ever does rain here....

Thanks rikeos, They do seem to be very cheap, will have to stock up lol
