acf8181 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 having done my research on etka, have found there appear to be upto 6 different types of alloy fitted to vr6's as standard. though it may only be 4, as the other two may be non-uk, im not sure yet.the ones we already new about - solitudes, early bbs, late bss.but then theres also 3 other ones, they're vw only ones, and go by the name of 'monte carlo', 'brands hatch', and 'long beach'i'm pretty sure the monte's are the early 5 spokes - anyone got them and wanna take a pic?not sure on the other two...any ones know which is what?

Atlas 12v 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Longbeach were the GTI 9 spokes, just for reference. Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 yeah, i thought they were....i don't think they were fitted to vr6's as standard. etka says 'gti, vr6' next to them mind. Link to post Share on other sites
MrBen 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Longbeaches were fitted to VR's in the US, but never seen them on VR's in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites

stu h 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 i know the name but cant picture the wheel. i know a fella who'll probably be able to tell me but I wont speak to him until next week. i've seen the montes in a sig on this forum, but i think the guy is from s/africa Link to post Share on other sites
