I understand there is an inexpensive VW steel wheel that fits the TTQ that is just fine for winter tires. Does anybody have the part number or name. My TT should be here soon, and wheel looks are not important (they will be covered with road salt and crud quickly) so I don't want to spend a forture no them. But want to have a set of Michelin Pilots ready to go. Thanks. Frank

Very stylish covers, exclusively for the TT, I believe, have part number 4B0 601 147 B Z17. Each rim cost app. $100, each lid app. 65$ in Norway, where the Continental "790" assymmetric snow tyres cost app. $230 apiece and the 225 cost app. US$70 000.

cracked one putting them on and I cracked another taking them off and putting them back on again. Not very durable.

Yes, one of mine cracked as well, but I only found out after I had decided to store them. Reason for cracking seemed to be careless mounting, bending some of the integral guides out of position. Super glue seemed to fix it, but I haven't used them since. Waiting for a free replacement.

MAK wheels had an internet special, Excess wheels 16 X 7.5 that fit the TT $75.00 + $17.50 shipping. They look nice, similar to the wheels used by Volvo on the C70. I don't know if they are still on clearance.
