Springfield Alloys

[Haves1979]

Fancy a set of springfield alloys, just wondering what the going rate is? There are a couple of sets on ebay but not sure if they are overpriced. Cheers

Genuine 18" VW alloys that were available on the Cali are quite rare, the ones I know of that are desirable are :

Toulca (my fav)
Springfield (were these a factory option on the Cali?)
Parmerstons

They all sell for at least £800 just for the Alloys, and around £1200 with new tyres.

What I have noticed is that now you can get Springfield Alloys that are 'replica's' as in not from VW, but a generic manufacturer, it's up to you if you care about this or not, but please check the load etc.

The genuine ones I've seen on eBay seem ok priced

That said, I've not ever really been looking for Springfields, I've been after a set of Toulca's for 4 years, but they come up so rarely and are super expensive.

I never saw black ones as an original VW supplied wheel. Could be wrong.
Any 'genuine' black ones would either be refurbished or a copy/imitation.

They are available in black and were a special option for the "Edition" models and Caravelle.

The part number is: 7E0601025Q AX1

You left Dakars off the list.
Available in either silver or black with diamond cut spokes.
In my view quite simply the best 18" wheel for a cali as its the easiest to clean, just 5 spokes with an enormous gap between them to get your hand in.
The spokes also work well as a step if you ever need to clean the middle of the windscreen.

Ahh, forgot about those, been around since 2012 I think

Hopefully! No confirmed build date yet but I’ll definitely post pics when I get it.

Mine were powder coated black by the supplying dealer along with the side bars. All still looking pristine after nearly 5 years

Wheels sorted, have to say I'm really happy with the look. Before and after.

No better OEM wheels imo.
