Hello guys, I recently got me mk1 and was wondering if the alloys on it are factory fitted, I been through google images and still can see my wheels on a mk1 GTI, I have a few questions firstly are the factory fitted mk1 GTI ALLOYS, are they rare?, and is the middle of the wheel ment to be dark grey or are they ment to be completely silver, this is a pic I found on eBay but my ones are all silver all help is appriciated

Hi dude
They look like A80 sport wheels to me mate .There are two types with different stud patterns . one with the part number starting 857 and the other 811. If they fit on your mk1 you must have the wheels that start 811.
Defo not factory for the mk1 but they are VAG wheels
Hope this helps.

I thought factory alloys were tarantulas on the gti? Maybe scalas too. Definitely look like audis to me but as said above they are vag and possibly dealer fitted

Very similar to Alpina Turbines for the BMW E21 (4x100), might be copies.

Google says there were a few including Rota R20's, MIM's and OZ.

Real thing -
