Welcome to the sale of these very rare alloy wheels, made by Vandenban of Germany, this design is called the ‘Flamingo’. These wheels are approximately 30-35 years old!
I bought these wheels about 3-4 years ago to go on my mk1 Golf GX, they looked excellent and are very retro, I have also had them on a mk3 Golf which, to my surprise, they also looked very good on!
The wheels have been refurbished at some point, the back and inset of the spokes is painted gloss black and the fronts have been cut back and lacquered to give a decent shine without the constant polishing!
Despite their refurb, these wheels are not perfect, one of them has a minor flat spot(I have never had any issue with handling or inflation of tyres etc) and there other minor marks present. The centre caps are all present and unbroken(pretty rare for any alloy wheel, let alone wheels as rare and as old as these!). However none of this distracts from these very cool and retro wheels(which you are almost guaranteed that you won’t find another set!)
The tyres are Michelin(3 x Energy, 1 x classic), all have approximately 4-5mm of tread remaining and are in very good condition.
Wheel dimensions
• 4 x 100
• ET 33
• 13’’ x 6’’
I have tried to describe these wheels as honestly as possible, I have’nt given the centre hub dimension as I forgot to measure it. However as mentioned, they fit a mk3 Golf and a mk1 Golf(tightly), would look fantastic on any older VW. Only selling as I no longer own a mk1 Golf.
So there you have it, stand out from the crowd this summer with these potentially show winning wheels!!! Very regretful sale as I know I will never find them again
£200 (i am happy to package/palletise for a courier if necessary)
