Welcome to the site.

Many people have been through the pain of scuffing the Chicago's. I did it the first weekend I got the car and felt miserable for a week.

Keep an eye out on eBay. I picked up a mint condition wheel for £40 and had it switched over last weekend. I'll send the original off for repair now and keep it as a full size spare in the garage.

hi nail

thanks for that info thought i was going to have to buy a new wheel ! took car to halfards for them to have a look to see if they could repair and they just laughed in my face (nice of them)

Its because they are diamond cut

You can buy the replicas off ebay. I scuffed one of mine ages ago but cant really see it anyway.

You have the same colour car as me

Welcome to new ownership

I wouldn't buy the replica's. I would only replace with a genuine VW wheel. I've seen half a dozen or so on eBay in the last year, but chose to hold out for one that was close by so I could pick it up personally.
