TIA!I got 19" CM prets only thing was I got hyper silver and they were VERY bright! No pics on the car unfortunately, they were a nicer offset than OEM so looked like they had spacers fitted, also didn't feel took much heavier than stock I certainly didn't notice anything handling wise etcFor £510 you can't go wrong, not much more than a good quality full refurb on 4 wheels!Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk webbmeister and camelsac2002 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s because the VW ones are extortionate that I think the VW ones should be good quality when in reality, they might not be any better than some aftermarket ones.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H17YD_L Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have black 19” CM reps and the powder coat finish is pretty bad! Really orange peely and a few runs!They also came in the wrong size from what was advertised, they are 8.5” wide not 8”!!There was also paint missing on one wheel behind the spokes.I spoke to CM about this an they did offer to allow me to return them even though they didn’t have to as had fitted tyres. But they gave me the money to have the 1 wheel re painted. I didn’t want to send them back due to the fact I’d fitted tyres and I’d be left looking for wheels againThey seem to be a solid wheel, already hit a few big potholes an expected to find damage and they are still all good!

GrantW Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I've got 18 CM Pretoria replicas in gun metal, the quality is really good, no paint runs or defects. I only use them for Track Days.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk camelsac2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
