The ad says HST alloys but they not Shadow Chromes which were fitted to the HST?

They are the new style wheels and have quite correctly been taken off a new car to be replaced by some nice wheels.

Apologies to new owners who have been lumbered with those wheels but sorry they are very bad At work

Junior, they are the new style 18" rims which are standard fit on the HSE, dont think they do the HST anymore.

I think they look good but are not shadow chrome. Any wheel design is subjective but for me they look good.

As pointed out, the design is subjective. Would you sugest one with chicken feathers attached.

Lets see your design before critisising current ones.

You defiantly are

As for the above new style wheels they look bad Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Not my cup of tea either, they look for the want of a better word "tinny" our local dealer tells me that most of the customers who have ordered the HSE have upgraded the wheels. But I am sure there are just as many people out there that think they look good.

Not a fan either, it was the first thing I said when my local dealer showed me the pictures before they got an actual car!

The 5 pairs of spokes look like leaves Not like any wheel designs I've done for anyone! Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

Maybe it's just a way of getting people to pay for upgrades?

quite

However those wheels, look a bit non original to me Maybe they have ben resprayed and the dark bits inside are now silver Still not too bad maybe if they were two-toned Have seen worse  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

They are sprayed according to LR "Silver Sparkle" same as another infamous wheel They do look different in the flesh, the pictures don't show them as well as they could.
