My dad had to avoid a Lady in Large sunglasses driving a Range Rover the other day and in the process damaged his n/s/f wheel. Of course said lady was oblivious to her running him off the road. He says it's beyond repair and not holding air in the tyre, he went to VW and was told that it isn't one of their wheel's. Problem is we have no idea where to look as they were on the car when he bought it. Any wheel geeks out there have an idea what make or what car they came on originally? Cheers.  |

vw verona wheels off a passat , go slap the dealer lol That was my first guess! however they are slightly different and had to have a spigot ring to fit on to his passat. |

I'm not sure, he lives miles away and is getting on in years, I was hoping someone might know by looking at it as it's quite a distinctive looking wheel.  |

They look like some dreadful eBay special no-brand wheel to me.
Certainly nothing that came stock out of the VAG stable.

Found em... google Passat 18" CC concept wheels, brings up these and similar. Going by what I can read on google. they are indeed ebay specials.  I dunno if this will be useful information but android phones can download the Google goggle app which allows reverse searching using an image you have (I've got an iphone so thats not possible for me) but yeah might work, you never know. |

Thanks to The Jackeria I have found the wheel's real name Alzor style 629, from the states with no apparent uk stockist, Awesome gti seem to have imported them a couple of years ago so they may be worth a try.

Glad I could be some help, I would have done more digging but I was on my work break so limited time to peruse. |

Is it not possible to get the damaged wheel repaired?

Looks better than the Verona. If you have to buy one from the states it shouldn't be expensive in itself, but you'll pay the same again to get it brought over here..
