What wheels are these

I bought my 04 TT about 2 months ago and it came with these wheels. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of black wheels and am considering alternatives. If I could identify the wheels, I could hopefully price them and sell them. Any price suggestions would be welcome too!

Thanks,

Tom

Factory Turbo Twists that have been painted. Also available from the factory in this colour Special Order.

Are they Hollow Spokes?

I don't know if they're hollow. How would you tell? I just went and looked and don't see anything visually.

If they're painted, it is an incredible paint job.

Any idea what they're worth?

reach behind the spoke, and if its smooth its hollow spoke, if you feel grooves, its solid spoke

I also thought you could tell by the metal valve stem. I understand the solids have rubber stems.

Powdercoated my turbo twists for track to match my volk time-attacks (street 19s).



The results were pretty good, but the volks look better!

The rear of the spoke is as smooth as the front. Feels almost like a cylinder. Sounds like hollow spokes ??

If so, still interested in value estimates.

Thanks,

Tom

P.S. to those that PM'd me, I'll respond from home tonight.

They are probably worth 1000-1200

Factory Painted Wheels

Those are factory painted wheels; option XD9. The MSRP on the option is $1390. That's over and above the cost of the wheels. It's an uncommon option.

How's the wear on the tires? What are the condition of the wheels any curb rash or scratches? I might be interested if you are selling.
